WILSON, OR WHO AND WHY 

The Great Disillusionizei

POLITICAL LIARS 
Stand Upon Your Hind Legs and Rage 



The blame for this British war on Germany not ending last 
year rests directly upon that British-American, Prof. Woodrow 
Wilson. If you deny this, read my big book and also see what 
Wilson in 1913 insisted is neutrality. If he had stood by that, this 
war would have ended last year and he would not have wronged 
Germany as he nefariously has; It is not yet un-American to criti- 
cise or vote against British-American Prof. Wilson — not until this 
British-American gets so high-and-mighty that he is Dictator or 
Czar and has abolished the ballot here in America. Remember all 
four of his grandparents were British subjects and his mother was 
English. British-American Prof. Woodrow Wilson is the rankest 
hyphenate himself. Panama Canal treachery, John Bull's second.

REVOLUTIONS COMING 

IN EUROPE 
How Will They Affect America? 

WILSON, WHO AND WHY 

Handed to the Printer, May 31, 1916 



Wallops for Roosevelt 

That fire-eating Colonel imagines he is such a holy terror and he 
raves and tears up the earth about Germany, when if this ferocious 
egotist had been in the Kaiser's place he would have done what the 
Kaiser did two days or a week before the Kaiser did it. This un- 
tamable wild-man is more like the Kaiser than the Kaiser is himself. 
Yet he rants and raves about Germany as though he with his bloody 
lust for killings were brimful of humanity and justice. Bah! It is 
simply a rank demagogue running himself for President. "Harriman, 
you and I are practical men." Then, after Harriman comes across 
with the dough, Harriman is a liar; I never said it nor got it. Ask 
the N. Y. World. Yet this demagogue claims to tote around a heavy 
load of political righteousness — political slush. Does America need 
a Kaiser, too, that can do no wrong? This bloody world has Kaisers 
enough. "Wilson fears ME." This ferocious ME, with his lust for 
killing, caused some mother's heart to bleed by shooting in the back 
her fleeing son and then ME gloated over the taking of that human 
life. He has enough to do to repent for his own bloody sins without 
jumping onto the Kaiser. Reader, if there is any statement in this 
warm pamphlet that you want proved or rubbed in, my big book of 
224 pages does it: What Is Wrong with Civilization? Illustrated 
with cartoons. The truth shall be known and understood in spite of 
the liars and hypocrites. 

A Hell of a Precedent 

Prof. Woodrow Wilson got the nomination by allowing his gall 
to slip up where his honor should have been. 

Many persons are not aware how Prof. Wilson happened to get 
the nomination for President, though Mr. Clark could inform them. 
So also could that beaming Nebraska sunflower that is so charmed 



with himself; but it would not redound to the trustworthiness of his 
hypnotic jaw as a delegate. It has long been the Democratic custom 
that when one seeker after the nomination for the Presidency has a 
majority of the votes of the delegates, then all other seekers withdraw 
their naines. Prof. Wilson could not abide by that custom and with- 
draw his name like the honorable men before him did. Yet he since 
had the gall to talk about having "a decent regard for what others 
think " Mr. Clark had a majority of the votes, not one ballot only, 
but for forty-one or forty-two ballots, and yet Prof. Wilson would not 
withdraw his name and bow to the Democratic custom as the honor- 
able men before him had done. He had the unprecedented gall to 
stick through it all, 42 ballots. It was Prof. Wilson's unprecedented 
gall that got him the nomination down at Baltimore. Prof. Wilson 
recently said (Feb. 27) : "The responsibilities of the office (Presidency) 
ought to sober a man even before he approaches it." Yes, I think so 
myself and you can see how it sobered Prof. Wilson down at Balti- 
more. I know tv/addle when I hear it. 

A man who will allow his gall to slip up where his honor should 
have been, and then prate about having "a decent regard for what 
others think," should not be allowed to imagine that he is the only 
political pebble on the Democratic beach and then let him blow off 
through his hat that the Democrats are sure to win when it is only a 
political minority administration. Slippery Democratic politicians 
told me months before the raw gall of those 42 sweltering ballots at 
Baltimore that the big interests (crooked) wanted Prof. Wilson and 
not Mr. Clark nominated. See how the lawless men of Wall Street 
robbed the stockholders of untold millions by looting the New Haven 
R. R. But there would have been no exposure of that gang of crooks 
—not if Wilson's man, the U. S. Attorney General at the time, could 
have prevented it. Mr. McReynolds sat upon the lid ; but pestiferous 
Folk persisted in raising both the lid and McReynolds. And Mr. Wil- 
son showed which side he was on by rewarding McReynolds and 
boosting him on to the U. S. Supreme Court bench, where he can de- 
cide on important matters for the Wall Street gang. Mr. Wilson was 
serving the men who looted the New Haven R. R. then. That loyal 
American, Wm. Randolph Hearst, says: "This is a governnient for the 
protection of the powerful and the exploitation of the weak." 

Once, fellow citizens, once we had a great man for President, 
and he was called "The Illinois baboon," "The nigger lover" by some 
1 of these very daily papers of N. Y. City which now make such a loud 
/» noise that to be a loyal American citizen you must stand by the pro- 
fessor who let his gall slip up where his honor should have been down 
at Baltimore; you will find hot stuff all the way through the book. 
Hot stuff backed up by facts and rubbed in so as to start theJiQiyls 
of the buncombe-tooters. & f\ *^^

How to Get Honest Politicians 

That will not promise one thing before election and then do the 
other thing after elected. A new, sure-do-it method that will make 

.HIM '\V\ IQIR n^j^ I 



patriotic citizens laugh and weep for joy and stir the politicians as 
they have never been stirred since they smelled pork and it became 
contagious for them to lie and graft and rush for the barrel. 

A campaign has been launched for the sterilization of fifteen mil- 
lion Americans according to the International News Service as well 
as N. Y. City dailies. A eugenic organization, after four years' work 
in this country and Europe, reached the conclusion that sterilization 
of defectives is the greatest work before them. The committee on 
sterilization in its report demands the sterilization of 92,400 persons 
in this country this year. They have the backing of many prominent 
persons and multi-millionaires and intend to rush the matter with 
Congress. They have discovered the fact that where the sole object is 
to prevent the reproduction of life, sterilization is possible. They esti- 
mate that about 10 per cent, of the present population of the United 
States ought to be sterilized. These defectives are such a burden 
upon society and cost the country so many hundreds of millions that 
they want to make sure that they have no descendants. 

I have been all over the country investigating and I have seen 
how it does cost this nation hundreds of millions every year just for 
one class of defectives alone. This class of defectives cannot see the 
same after election that they do before they are elected. Now I have 
fully investigated this class of ' defectives and find their defect is a 
gyrating intellect. They cannot help seeing things differently after 
they are elected from what they did before they were elected. These 
defectives with gyrating intellects cost the nation hundreds of millions 
of dollars every year. Now, sterilization is the sure cure. Then we 
can breed politicians that can see the same after election that they do 
before they are elected. Then we can get an honest man like Hearst 
on the job, but not now. Up bobs some aesthetic gent and bewilders 
and obfuscates the voters with his exquisite promises and gyrating 
intellect, and before you are aware he is on the job and the taxpayers 
are in for it again. 

If men and women invest their savings in railroad stocks and 
some big crook loots that road and a bunch of the stockholders are 
reduced to want and suffer and go insane, they are to be sterilized on 
the ground that they are defectives. Sterilize the big crook as well as 
his victims. The crook is defective; he is soulless — has no heart. 
Sterilize the big swindlers as well as his victims. There are a bunch 
of big crooks that cost this nation more every year than all the insane 
asylums and other institutions for defectives do. Why sterilize the 
victims and not sterilize the swindlers that cause panics, bankruptcies, 
suicides and insanity? 

Prof. Wilson's Slogan of Preparedness. 

Huerta was forced out because big oil interests wanted him out. 
Read my big book. 

He asks: "How can Americans differ about safety in America?" 
Hearst has been awake to this condition a good many years and has 
tried to wake up Prof. Wilson ever since this minority administration 

5 



existed— especially when the Congressmen were gorging themselves 
with pork and more pork at the expense of our Navy and the United 
States Treasury. Hearst has been preaching preparedness for years 
and years and digging at Mr. Wilson. And now at last, after several 
years in Washington, D. C, Mr. Wilson has discovered that the best 
bait with which to go after the nomination is that we should prepare 
for war. Pork, more pork is the battle-cry that never fails to thrill 
the Democratic Party. 

Hearst has preached preparedness when this Administration sup- 
pressed everything about preparedness it could. Hearst has vvorked 
like a patriot and Prof. Wilson has worked like a shifty politician 
until he needed a slogan to swing around the circle after the nomina- 
tion at St. Louis, and then preparedness is just the thing. Prof. 
Wilson, why not use your old slogan of 1912, free tolls for American 
ships? Why not try your old slogan of 1912, economy in national 
expenses? Prof. Wilson, why not brag about what a fine Demo- 
cratic tariff you have got? Prof. Wilson cannot stand on the record 
of a single fulfilled pledge that he made to the voters in 1912 to get 
the nomination at St. Louis. Garrison discovered that the less sig- 
nificant a man is in the Cabinet the better he stands with this Admin- 
istration. You cannot take gall and rhetoric and sophistry and bun- 
combe and make an American statesman. 

You Political Liars. 

Stand Upon Your Hind Legs and Rage. 

"They Whom the Gods Would Destroy, They First Make Mad." 
Now Go Mad. I Will Stir You Up. 

An old Hebrew wrote : The Lord shall go forth as a mighty man. 
He shall stir up jealousy like a man of war; he shall cry, yea, roar; 
he shall prevail against his enemies. — Isaiah xliv, 13. The Lord must 
be ruling this bloody earth on the absent treatment plan the way the 
old thing is reeling or he would turn loose and do that roaring that 
Isaiah tells about and stir up the jealousy of these measly political 
liars that deceive the American fools. He would also stir up their 
bosses — the immaculate cusses of Wall Street— and rile that pirate, 
John Bull — the bloodiest monster that ever walked this earth and 
called himself civilized. I think the Lord would turn loose and tell 
that conceited little-headed Woodrow Wilson what a hypocrite he i? 
and that ranter Roosevelt what a rank demagogue he is 366 days 
this year. 

Thy Kingdom Come ; Thy Will Be Done on Earth. 

Diabolical John Bull says he is the Lord of the earth, and this 
bloodiest of all oppressors and pirates says his will shall be done on 
land and sea. This pirate and robber says, what I do to India and 
Ireland shall be done to Germany, because I cannot compete with the 
blasted German. And that bombastic flunkey down at Washington 
says, I will not omit any word or act to help out England. The war 

6 



lord of Germany says his satanic will shall be done and the empire 
extended as John Bull extends his. And that rank demagogue and 
would-be regulator of the universe of Oyster Bay says, it is his 
demagogic will that shall be done. And the big robbers of Wall 
Street say, We shall rob and devour to our heart's content and no 
one shall send us up to the pen. And the everlastingly malignant 
French are as revengeful as Paris is rotten, and they say, We will 
get even with Germany for in 1871 giving us the smashing that we 
deserved and making us return what we had stolen. And the Dago 
says, if I cannot blackhand Austria I will sail in and assassinate him. 
Russia— in barbarous Russia only devils reign as in Turkey. One 
slaughters the Armenians, and the other outrages and crucifies the Jew 
wholesale, and our rotten politicians help the Russian brutes and curse 
the Turk. These bloody men imagine they can have their devilish way 
and divine wrath and destruction will never overtake them when they 
have got this Christless civilization headed straight for sudden revolu- 
tion, anarchy and hell. You bloody deceivers will soon have to face 
revolutions and divine wrath for what you have done. 

All the raving Roosevelts and hypocritical Wilsons and grafting 
politicians and big Wall Street crooks and British Stiffs, the king and 
his titled bums, and Kaisers and Czars cannot stop divine wrath and 
justice. The nations and civilization was never so rotten. Never since 
there was a nation has the world been so shaky and dead ripe for revo- 
lution after revolution in one nation after another. That is how evil 
will go forth from nation to nation (Jer. 25). There is no way this war 
in Europe can end that will not intensify discontent and hate there. 
And the after-clap of this carnage which you Wall Street crooks have 
feed will send the cold shivers down your backs with a vengeance. You 
big devils ought to have sense enough to know that your cussedness 
will all come home to you. But you wanted to help rotten old England, 
that was shaking and tottering before this war, to tear down Germany.' 

I am Elijah the Prophet, 
who was to come before the great and dreadful day of the 

Lord (Mai. iv, 5). 

Two men will be killed by a mob and their dead bodies will lie 
three days and a half in the street of a big city and be viewed by 
crowds. Then they will be resurrected and translated in the presence 
of thousands of people on the judgment day. Go read this prophecy. 
Rev. 11. 

"And after three days and a half the Spirit of life from God entered into 
them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw 
them. And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up 
hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld 
them. And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part 
of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain seven thousand: and the 
remnant— (who are the remnant? See Rom. ix, 27; Jer. xxxi, 7; Rev. vii, 



48; Rev. xiv, 1-5; i Cor. 1, 2(i\ Luke xiii, 24)— were affrighted and gave glory 
to the God of heaven."— Rev. 11. These two men will begin their prophesying 
in the south and after they have prophesied for some time their pictures and 
full particulars about them, where they were born and lived and the day they 
will be killed and the name of the great city and the street and block will be 
published in a pamphlet of Scriptural discussions. You will soon find to your 
condemnation and sorrow that the Bible is the sure word of prophecy. You 
sanctimonious converted hypocrites, go read Revelations. There are the dire- 
ful scourges and calamities soon to be visited upon this rotten, wicked world. 
If you want pure Christianity, read "The Sign of the Lord's Coming." 

Never was there a time this nation should have been actuated by love and 
peace and humanity instead of hate and greed as during this British war on 
Germany. I tell you, the red-hot judgment day will sober up these fools here 
and convince them that they were deceived by the lying, prating devils about 
that monster, John Bull, and humanity and neutrality. You bet your life, 
these rotten politicians and Wall Street and bloody John Bull cannot side-track 
the judgment day nor escape it. Go read how hard it will hit them, Isaiah xiii, 
5-19; Joel I and 2. These perilous times justify the language of this book. 
Events will shortly demonstrate that. 

Elijah, the prophet, must know how to tell what day is to be the 
judgment day or he is not the real stufY. To prophesy of the coming 
judgment day and warn the world of the destruction that is to over- 
take it, he is got to know how to tell exactly when that great^and 
dreadful day is coming. He is the man who is to fulfil that prophecy 
and command of Joel: Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an 
alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants tremble; for the 
day of the Lord cometh, for it is nigh at hand. This prophecy of 
Joel's proves that warning of the nearness of the judgment day was 
to be given to the world. This is why Paul said: Children of light 
ye are not in the dark that the day of the Lord should conie upon 
you as a thief; yet as a thief it comes upon the world (the sinners), 
because they will not believe (1 Thes. 5). Again I tell you men that 
I am Elijah, the prophet, sent to warn the world of the nearness of 
the judgment day. That day wickedness will burn as the fire (Isa. 
ix, 18). That day the sun will be darkened (Rev. vi, 12) for eight 
hours (Rev. viii, 12), the moon turn red, the stars fall and the whole 
earth shake. Sinners will then be convinced of their doom. And the 
kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief 
captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every freeman, 
hid themselves in dens and in the rocks of the mountains to hide 
from the wrath of God (Rev. vi, 15-17). You bloody, satanic rulers 
of Europe, your carnage has sealed your own doom. From the very 
beginning night and day I thought how can this war be stopped. I 
tried my'best; but you men were hellity-bent on blood and destruc- 
tion. Now the cataclysm is unavoidable. You men who wanted this 
war of England on Germany to go on go curse yourselves for what 
you have done. The Kaiser is satanic enough, but he could not 
have possibly avoided this war. The allies were determined to have 
this hell.

Righteousness Shall Rule on This Earth, and That Time is Near. 

I tell you measly, rotten politicians down at Washington, and 
you big Wall Street men, and you bloody rulers of Europe, the time 
is not far away when righteousness shall rule the nations on this 
earth. You men who survive the coming cataclysm will have to bow 
the knee to a king who rules in righteousness (Isaiah xxxii, 1). And 
he will rule the nations with a rod of iron (Rev. ii, 26, 27) ; and he will 
rule for a thousand years (Rev. xx, 6). You men understand the 
import of this message to the world. The hand-writing on the wall 
says your devilish jig is about up. The time is near for the fulfilment 
of that prophecy and prayer : Thy kingdom come ; thy will be done on 
earth. Truth shall triumph; justice shall not forever be frustrated. 
The strong shall not rob the weak. The nations shall not learn war. 
The meek shall inherit the earth. The world shall know the power 
of love. He shall be king of the earth who is its greatest benefactor 
and not he Avho is the bloodiest pirate and greatest oppressor of men. 
John Bull's career is about run. The nations will not long be infested 
with this Satanic breed of rulers and lying politicians. The future 
office-holders will be servants and not grafters or oppressors as now. 
I tell you men, by the Eternal, righteousness shall rule on this earth 
and men shall know the power of love. Soon will there be no rest 
nor peace for the wicked. Only in righteousness is there peace and 
safety. To the earnest, the faithful, the meek, I say, rejoice. To the 
fearful, be strong, fear not; behold, your God will come with ven- 
geance, even God with a recompence ; He will come and save you. 
And the ransomed of the Lord shall return, and come to Zion with 
songs, and everlasting joy upon their heads : they shall obtain joy and 
gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away (Isaiah 35 : Rev. 
xxi, 4). 

You Big Devils of Wall Street. 

You devils, when did you become gods, that your greedy cussed- 
ness must not be exposed and condemned? You have played hell 
with this war-mad civilization. 

You have deceived the American fools about this infernal war of 
the allies on Germany, and you have deceived the sapheads about 
your hellish treachery that you call neutrality. Blow men into hell 
by the thousands so you can add to your millions. 

You have been lawless and lawlessness and anarchy 3^ou will 
soon reap. You are about to the end of your rope. This blood-thirsty 
assassination plot of John Bull's will soon have done the job : finished 
this rotten civilization. The devils from hell could not have plotted 
more diabolically than have you and John Bull. 

You have fed hell, and hell you will sure and soon reap. They 
that trust in riches and deception and oppression will fall in the day 
of divine wrath which is near at hand. This rotten, Christless money- 
mad world is doomed. That day is near when the cattle will do unto 
you as you have so long done unto the cattle. I tell you that a man 



of iron and action will soon be needed at the head of this nation 
instead of a little-headed college professor. 

There is no justice in the earth. These are the days of discon- 
tent, unrest, sudden upheavals, revolutions. This blood-thirsty v^^ar of 
John Bull's on Germany has made revolution after revolution there 
inevitable. Then will come home to you what you have done by 
feeding this bloody hell of John Bull's': such a panic here, followed 
by lawlessness and anarchy. Then you will want a real man and not 
a'pin^pet. Stupid humanity, this is just how^ shaky this rotten, money- 
crazy civilization is now. Rotten things always go to pieces. Look 
at Mexico! There was no justice; only slavery and lawless men. 
The big robbers and opppressors here have their own way as they 
did in Mexico. Thousands of our laboring men are just as lawless as 
capital. When the revolutions come in- Europe, you will see what 
these men will do here. Such men must then be given short shift. 
If you come to your senses, I tell you, you want Roosevelt. We have 
had plutocratic lawlessness here for years, since the robbers of Wall 
Street were enthroned during the rebel war. Plutocratic lawlessness 
is one extreme and the other is near. 

That British Stiff, The King, 

and his bloody men plotted for years to get this war on Germany, and 

they imagine that they are so high and mighty that God Almighty 

cannot reach nor harm them with His divine wrath. 

Vengeance is mine ; I will repay all these bloody men, saith the 
Lord. According to John Bull's bloody deeds wall I recompense this 

pirate. And recompense bloody as that will be retribution enough. 
His navy cannot save him in the day of wrath which is near at hand. 
The Lord at thy right hand shall strike through kings in the 
dav of his wrath. The Lord will judge among the heathen, he 
shall fill the places with the dead bodies ; he shall wound the heads 
of many countries.— Ps. 110. You bloody rulers that plot to get war 
and force vour subjects to go in and be slaughtered because rotten old 
England was shaking and tottering will find that with all your pomp 
that there is a power mightier than all of you mortals and the bloody 
deal you have passed out to othei^ will be mercilessly handed to you. 
With all your strut and pomp and purple you are mortals and not gods 
nor divine as you pretend. You are of a satanic breed and will yet 
have to bow the knee to a power mightier than that of mortal men. 
That ''tight little ile" will be the bloodiest slaughter pen this world will 
ever see. The mills of the gods are soon going to grind. The Lord 
hath a controversy with the nations ; he will give them that are wicked 
to the sword. Behold evil shall go forth from nation to hation (revolu- 
tion), and a great whirlwind (yellow race) shall be raised up from the 
coasts of the earth and the slain of the Lord shall be from one end of 
the earth even to the other end of the earth. . . . The land will be made 
desolate because of the fierceness of the oppressors (big robbers and 
rulers and grafters) and because of the fierce anger of the Lord.— Jer. 



10 



25. The nations that forget God shall be turned into the grave and 
they will not be lamented nor buried; they dung upon the earth. It 
will be demonstrated to you satanic men that the Bible is not a lie. 
"I saw an angel standing in the sun ; and he cried with a loud voice, 
saying to the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather 
yourselves unto the supper of the great God ; that ye may eat the flesh 
of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the 
flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, 
both free and bond, both small and great; and all the fowls were filled 
with their flesh."— Rev. 19. 

^ "The Lord maketh the earth empty. The earth is defiled under the in- 
habitants thereof, because they have transgressed the laws, changed the 
ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant. Therefore hath the curse de- 
voured the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate; therefore the 
inhabitants of the earth are burned and few men left" (Isaia 24). The 
prophecies relating to this destruction have been explained in the book 
advertised in the back. Joel, ist and 2nd chapters; Isaiah xiii, 9-18; Isaiah 
24; Jer. XV, 15-38; Mai. iv, 5; i Thes. v, 1-6; Rev. ix, 14, 15; Dan. 12; 
Matth. 24. 

This nation should have been neutral and not helped either side, as 
Wm. Randolph Hearst repeatedly urged with his big papers. When the crash 
of civilization does come then you will see that you should have heeded the 
warnings of Hearst. What do you want ? Want me to keep still and let this 
world go to smash and destruction without giving any warning? Well, you 
need not heed what I say any more than you raving demagogues and liars 
heeded Hearst. But I tell you big crooks and lying demagogues that the 
money power of America backed up England's war on Germany, and will yet 
see that you cut your own throats by doing it. The money power cut off its 
own head will be the verdict of the historian. The longer this war con- 
tinues the more efficiently you will yet find that you have done the job. 
The day is near that you will curse yourselves, and not me for it, too. 

I tried hard to wake up people to what they were doing. The Sign of 
the Lord's Coming was advertised in 1914 in the big cities papers from New 
York City to San Francisco, Los Angeles, Portland and Seattle. All it 
accomplished was to make that sentimental poetess of the N. Y. Journal sing 
out: "Do not frighten the people." The afterclap of this war will do worse 
than frighten the people; it will terrify them. This rotten world will soon 
get an object lesson of divine wrath that will be remembered through all the 
centuries to come. I say Roosevelt is the man that should be elected the next 
President of the United States and not little headed Mr. Wilson; he would 
lose that little head when the appalling revolutions start. Roosevelt is a 
selfish demagogue; but he is a man of iron and action in great emergencies. 
You want to start off this next four years with the stoutest-hearted man 
you have. I have never been guilty of voting for Roosevelt nor for the other 
man. The conceited college professors that try to emasculate the Bible and 
the bloody kings and rulers and rotten, lying politicians and big robbers and 
looters will soon find that the Bible is the sure word of prophecy. I have 
tried all I could to bring the American fools to their senses as to\vhat they 
were doing by feeding and prolonging this carnage in Europe and pyramid- 



II 



in^ the debts there and killing and crippling the white race and insuring 
revolutions and their own destruction. Hearst told them that they were 
sweeping our civilization into the pit of anarchy. No. they listened to that 
hypocrite down at \¥ashington prate about humanity. The monumental sham 
of this century is the \\'oodrow Wilson prate about humanity, and then feed 
and prolong this hell in Europe for over a year. There were weeks after 
this war began that I never laughed. I walked the floor and said what can 
I do to stop it. I did all I could. Our civilization is doomed. This nation 
has been completely deceived about England. Russia and France and Eng- 
land were determined to have war with Germany. England plotted for years 
to get war and Wilson knows it just as well as he knows there is war. 

Sapheads, read this book through and you will find that you are 
just like the crazy Georgians that would not read the evidence in the 
Leo Frank case and that wanted to mob the Governor because he did 
read it. Not one of those rebels that took part in that lynching of 
Leo Frank can feel that Leo Frank was guilty, and not one of them 
cannot help but feel that they committed a fiendish, traitorous crime 
when they lynched him. It was done because the rest of the country 
considered Leo Frank innocent and he did not get a fair trial, and the 
rebels looked upon that as interfering with their local affairs and he 
was a northern man. 

They say Germany has been 45 years preparing for this war. The de- 
ceived fools do not know that the French used to be the military nation of 
Europe, and marched across the German states time and again as they pleased. 
For centuries the French then were always raising hell with the German 
people. As the historian, Thomas Carlyle wrote in 1870 to the London Times: 
"No nation ever had so bad a neighbor as Germany has had in France for 
the last 400 years ; bad in all manner of ways ; insolent, rapacious, insatiable, 
inappeasible, continually aggressive." In one war with the treacherous 
French, the ■ German population w^as reduced from twenty millions to six 
millions. It w^as only after the German states united and became military that 
France got what she deserved and had to keep out of Germany. The Ameri- 
can fools wdll not read history. Alsace-Lorraine has always been German 
to the core from the times of Christ. Read my book, "What Is Wrong With 
Civilization," and post up about how you have been deceived by the liars 
her that toady to John Bull. That bloody Bull will get divine wrath enough. 
I do not care how big his navy. My ancestors in old Hingland died so long 
ago that the British stiff, the king, has no strings on me. Some of them were 
in the Revolutionary war. And to this day the British are sorry that they 
were not able to do to George Washington what they have just done to the 
patriots in Ireland. 

Big Crooks and Belgian Neutrality 

With you big devils and John Bull all this raving about Bel- 
gian Neutrality is simply hot air. You know in the first place that 
John Bull does not care any more about neutralities than you big 
crooks here do about the damned public. And next you know for 
years before this war, Belgian neutrality toward Germany did not 

12 



exist. And you big devils and lying papers well know all this howl 
about Belgian neutrality is rank rot to deceive the sapheads here 
that do not know beans when the bag is open. Their lying papers 
here have done so much lying about Germany to help that pirate, 
John Bull, and suppressed news of outrages much worse and more 
extensive than any exaggerated lie they have so industrially spread 
about Germany and Belgium, and yet these brazen, lying newspapers 
claim to be so reliable and trustworthy. England bombarded the 
unfortified city of Belgium, Ostend, and dropped air bombs upon that 
city, and the man in England that dared to publish it, was raided by 
the British police for letting even Englishmen know it. England 
wants this hell; yet it is awful for 'Germany to give London a taste 
of what they wanted. 

In an article, June 23, 1912, by John L. Eddy, which has already 
been mentioned, is this account: ^'Belgium, where no one a few 
weeks ago would have thought of intimating even the possibility of a 
revolution, has also seen rioting break out in all of its principal cities. 
The disturbances here are frankly Socialistic. Many lives have al- 
ready been lost, and much property destroyed. Cries of *Long live 
France, let us be annexed to France/ not even aroused the opposition 
of the mobs." 

Professor Herbert Sanborn says: "In the year 1901, I spent the 
whole summer in Brussels and in other parts of Belgium., and know 
how absolutely pro-French and anti-German the spirit of this whole 
region, once a part of France, still is. Even the whole Flemish popu- 
lation has been Gallicized completely. Brussels is a small Paris in a 
sense that no city in Alsace or Lorraine ever has been. Everywhere 
there is the same loose surface life that we find in France; only in 
these countries does the European traveller expect to find mistakes in 
his bills and only here is the avalanche of bad money in circulation — 
the latter an unheard of thing throughout the length and breath of the 
German Empire." 

Roosevelt, the Demagogue. 

You ferocious demagogue, you are not honest enough to tell the American 
people that Germany could not have possibly kept out of this war. Either you 
know it is the truth and are not honest enough to admit it or you are not 
earnest enough to get the facts. You big-mouthed ranter, if you will read my 
book, "What Is Wrong With Civilization," you will get the facts that will 
make you rave. You do not show any disposition to be fair nor just. Hearst 
has justly censured you for your ranting and raving. Such men as you have in- 
flamed the American fools and feed this hell in Europe until the Christless 
civilization is doomed. It is get Roosevelt into the lime-light, and get votes 
and make him president. You demagogue if you had been in the Kaiser's 
place you would have done what the Kaiser did two days before the Kaiser 
did it. On August 3, 1914, after this war was on, Grey confessed in Parlia- 
ment that the British Foreign Office had made a secret agreement with France 
since 1906 to some time go to war with Germany. Two days before Germany 
and Russia were in a state of war, Grey threatened to resign unless England 
backed up France and Russia in war on Germany. Three members of the 

13 



British Cabinet opposed backing up France and Russia in making war on 
Germany and Austria and resigned ? They were Mr. Burns, Lord Morley and 
Sir Trevelyn. 

Belgium was in the plot against Germany, too. You want proof. Well, 
there is that Britisher, Mr. Forbes Sutherland. He had for years been a 
member of the British Intelligence Department. That is what we 
call a spy for England. The British Government sent Mr. Sutherland to 
Belgium, Antwerp, with one of the British heads of the Intelligence Depart- 
ment to concert measures with the Belgium Secret Service. These statements 
of Mr. Sutherland can be vouched for by persons present who heard him 
address the Boston Press Club on January 14, 191 5. The military plans which 
Grey confessed the British and French laid included Belgium territory, and 
that is why Belgium was fortified against Germany. That Belgian King de- 
serves no sympathy whatever. Get "What Is Wrong With Civilization" and 
see how that Belgian King deceived his subjects. That treacherous Belgian 
government has never repented for the Congo atrocities, and they were not 
served as they served those natives. I do not care how much you cuss the 
Kaiser, if you will only give that bloodiest of all monsters, John Bull, a still 
hotter hell. It is a fine set of bloody stiffs that rule Europe. They deserve 
the wrath of God. 

You liars and deceivers have howled and lied about Belgium just to 
help that bloodiest of all monsters and pirates, John Bull. Not one of you" 
cared about Belgium or you w^ould have howied and howled when England 
was assassinating the Boer Republic, and dragging the Boers' waives up and 
forcing them to look on w^hile they executed their captured husbands for 
fighting for their homes and country. That demagogue Roosevelt did rot 
go tearing around over our map like a crazy bull w^ith blood in his eye de- 
manding war on the spot with England. This ranter did not howl w-ith his 
righteous rage and demand that England indemnify the Boers and get to 
halleluia out of the Boers' country. Bah on this demagogue's humanity and 
justice; it is only intended to be applied in spots or w^hen he wants votes. 
If Germany's going through unneutral Belgium w^ere a crime, as you pretend, 
you hypocrites have gone and committed a bloodier one. You have fed and 
prolonged this hell in Europe and over a year kept the w^orld from having 
peace. Yet you liars prate about humanity and that you w^ant peace. John 
Bull and you liars act as though the day of divine wrath cannot quickly ex- 
pose you, deceivers, and pay you back. W^hen the revolutions start you may 
tumble to it that you wicked men have sow^n the implements of hell and 
hell you will reap. You bloody hypocrites will soon find that right here is the 
sure word of prophecy (Rev. ix, 14-21; Isaiah x, 5, 6, 7, 28-34; Joel 2). 
Devils will tremble (Jas. ii, 19). 

The Mad Bull of America. 

That demagogue, Roosevelt, like a crazy, mad bull has raged and raved 
and backed up this un-American, pro-British, Tory administration and rob- 
berous Wall Street and the infernal ammunition devils here. Roosevelt 
backed up this devilish combination in helping that diabolical British Govern- 
ment try to carry out its plot to assassinate another nation because blundering 
John Bull could not compete w-ith Germany, and rotten England was threat- 

14 



ened with revolution. This is the bloodiest and most infernal assassination 
plot this world ever saw by so-called civiHzed man. No other war approaches 
this enormity of that tyranical British Government, not since Jenghiz Khan 
mowed down fifty millions of white people on the plains of Europe in his 
attempt to exterminate the white race. That British Government began in 
1906 to plot to get this war on Germany, and the Kaiser could not have pos- 
sibly avoided war. Because that cursed British Government and France and 
Russia had diabolically plotted for war and were determined to have war 
with Germany and treacherous Belgium said, that is right, do up the Ger- 
mans. Get this hot stuff backed up and rubbed in right by reading my book, 
"What is Wrong With Civilization?" Illustrated with cartoons. 

But to expose the low-down cussedness of the Tories and the lying pro- 
British here, this pamphlet in your hand — this masterpiece of disillusionizing 
literature is more effective than all the other stuff off the printing presses 
combined. The Tories and pro-British here are so measly treacherous that 
they insist that hundreds of thousands of us Americans are not Americans 
because we expose and denounce their dastardly cussedness. To expose these 
cusses is an outrageous sacrilege not to be tolerated. Well, give us more 
outrageous sacrilege quick and let that mad bull of Oyster Bay tear himself. 
These liars and deceivers for that bloodiest of all monsters, John Bull, are 
stupid to the last degree, if they for one minute imagine that they are so 
high and mighty or so numerous that they are not to be exposed, and still 
worse later get it rubbed in by divine wrath. The day is near when over- 
whelming exposure and destruction is to overtake all deceivers and oppres- 
sors however high and important they imagine themselves or however much 
they try to impress it upon us that they are immaculate and inassailable in 
their measly cussedness. That slogan, "America first," is hypocrisy, a sham; 
it is buncombe. It means England first. This administration is notorious 
for raw gall, sophistry, cant, twaddle, buncombe and pork-grabbing and 
British interests instead of American. But it is blastedly seditious to expose 
such hypocrites. You can bet your lives on it that I am glad the judgment 
day is not far away for this rotten Christless civiHzation. (Mai. iv, 5; 
Joel ii). I do not care a red cent how much you curse and curse that satanic 
Kaiser, if you sapheads will only come to your senses and give John Bull a 
still hotter hell. All the same he will get it hotter, and right on that "tight 
little isle" when this Christless civilization is visited with divine wrath. 
(Isaiah x, 1-8; Jer. xxv, 15). Vengeance is mine and I will repay, saith the 
Lord. According to their deeds will I recompense these bloody men and that 
will be hell enough. John Bull is a worse devil any day than the Kaiser. I 
know what that satanic Kaiser is just as well as I know what John Bull and 
his gang of liars are. 

You bloody deceivers and oppressors, the Jew is a demonstration that 
the Bible is the sure word of prophecy. Before the Jews entered the promised 
land they were enjoined to do the square thing by the Lord or they would be 
scattered among all the nations (Lev. xxvi, 38; Deut. xxiv, 64). Yet you liars 
and oppressors imagine that you can have your high-handed way and divine 
retribution will never come near you. You are mortals and not gods and 
cannot escape the consequences of your bloody cussedness. Is there a single 
campaign pledge that Woodrow Wilson made to the voters in 1912 that he 

15 



did not break? Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from 
the Lord, and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who seeth us? and 
who knoweth us and what we are up to? (Jer. xxix, 15). The heart is de- 
ceitful above all things, and desperately wicked; who can know it? I the 
Lord search the heart, I try the reins even to give every man according to 
his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings (Jer. 9; 10). Recently 
Prof. Wilson was so unneutral as to try to get this nation into war with 
Germany in order to help out England. His mother was English, and all 
four of his grandparents were English. Not long after this British war on 
Germany is settled will come the next European war; Greece and Russia 
will boost the Turk over into Asia and that will stir Asia as Asia has never 
been stirred. Then will peace be taken from the earth— not just Europe 
and Asia, but America and the whole earth (Rev. vi, 4). Then there will 
be no peace for the wicked at any price (Isaiah 48; 22). That day the 
Lord will strike through kings in his wrath (Ps. no; 5, 6). Come near, ye 
nations, to hear; and hearken, ye people; let the earth hear, and all that is 
therein : the world, and all things that come forth of it. For the indignation 
of the Lord is upon all nations, and his fury upon all armies : he hath utterly 
destroyed them, he hath delivered them to the slaughter. Their slain also 
shall be cast out, and their stink shall come up out of their cracasses, and 
the mountains (governments) shall be melted with their blood (Isaiah 34). 
The reaminder of this chapter is fully discussed in "The Sign of the Lord's 
Coming." You men that trust in deception and oppression the prophecies of 
the Bible will be fulfilled in your cases as thoroughly as it was in the Jews. 
The Lord will plead with all flesh ; He will give them that are wicked to the 
sword (Jer. xxv.). Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die, 
saith the Lord God; and not that he should return from his ways and live? 
When the wicked man turneth away from his wickedness that he hath com- 
mitted, and doeth that which is lawful and right, he shall save his soul (life) 
alive (Ezek. 18). When the wicked spring as grass, and when all the v/orkers 
of iniquity do flourish, it is then that they shall be destroyed forever (Ps. 
xcii, 7). ' Stupid, greedy humanity cannot see that destruction is about to 
overtake this rotten, shaky state of affairs. 

The Political Situation. 

Your are marching straight right into hell with your eyes open — revolu- 
tions and anarchy in Europe, and panics and a crisis for law and order here. 
When that crisis hits you, you will want Roosevelt and not Wilson or Root 
or Hughes. In such a crisis the American people and Europe would have 
more confidence in that terrific fighter, Roosevelt, than any other man in the 
world. I do not want the Republicans to nominate Roosevelt; because in 1912 
they robbed him of the nomination when the people wanted him. Let the 
Bull Moose bunch put him up and let the American fools come to their senses 
and make him President and get even with the Republicans for over-riding 
the will of the people in 1912. You would expect the measly, thieving Demo- 
crats to do such an under-handed job; but not the immaculate grand old Re- 
publican party that is owned soul and carcass by plutocratic Wall Street and 
rotten bosses. 

Let Roosevelt's admiring enemies, the German, look ahead down the road 

16 



and they will see that they need him. In sixty days after the expelling of the 
Turk from Europe the world will never have seen such a calamitous condition 
of affairs in one nation after another as will then suddenly culminate. It is 
appalling to see how blind and stupid the American people are. Wise? They 
are as wise as the old fools that made fun of Noah and his big boat-house and 
then got swallowed up by the flood. Roosevelt is our mightiest, most terrific 
fighter, and while Wilson or Root or Hughes would stand appalled and dumb- 
founded, strenuous Roosevelt would be in action like a cyclone. Come to your 
senses and make Roosevelt President. 

It is time to tell this rotten world the truth. The climax to this corrupt, 
plutocratic, competitive system is near and will demonstrate to the world that 
this blundering, pork-grabbing, hypocritical, pro-British Wilson administration 
was a direful calamity for the white race. Wilson recently tried to force the 
United States into war with Germany to help out dear old Hingland. The 
American people have been treachersouly deceived about England and the 
allies and neutrality and thus caused foully, monstrously to wrong Germany. 

DIABOLICAL JOHN BULL 
Will Not Allow Us to Send Food to These Starving, Outraged People. 

Girls and Women Stripped and Outraged Before the Eyes of Their 

Fathers, Husbands and Brothers and then Burned 

to Death by the Soldiers. 

And the lying newspapers here will not let the American people 
hear of these awful, horrible crimes of those beastly, fiendish bar- 
barians because it would enrage the Americans against the allies. 

Have you any heart? Then read this story and see how you feel. 
See if there was any reason except the devil's own infernal excuse 
why this nation prolongs this hell in Europe. Old Nero never 
equalled this, yet England tried to keep us from hearing of these 
devils' crimes. 

Read this and see what you think of the papers here that sup- 
press the news and particulars of such hellish crimes against hundreds 
of thousands of women because it would enrage the American people 
against Russia. Yet these lying papers pretend to give you the truth 
about the terrible state of affairs on this bloody earth. 

I will stir up the lying politicians and their papers worse than 
Uncle Tom's Cabin woke up the slave-holders. You shall no longer 
deceive the sapheads here to help England and her allies. 

The Most Hellish Atrocities of This War. 

Much worse than the most exaggerated reports of Belgium and 
yet the papers will not let you hear of the crimes of those barbarians. 

"The savage Cossacks locked whole congregations in the syna- 
gogues to which the frightened creatures had fled for safety. 

"They then stripped and foully outraged the women and girls 
before the eyes of their fathers and husbands and brothers. When 
their lust was satiated they cut the women to pieces with their whips 

17 



and put the men to death with savage tortures. In many instances 
they fastened the poor wretches in the synagogues and burned them 
all to death. 

"Women, old and young, some with babes pressed to their 
bosoms, some about to become mothers, were stripped and knouted 
and outraged in broad day in the pubHc squares, while Russian army 
officers looked on and jeered at the beastly inhumanity of their 
soldiery. 

"Specific details of names, dates and places are given, showing 
that Jewish men were crucified, or covered with oil and burned alive, 
while these incarnate devils laughed and shouted in glee over the 
agonies of the tortured. 

"Whole villages were driven beneath the blows of the knout to 
wander forth to die of hunger and cold, while their homes were given 
to the flames. 

"Tens of thousands of inoffensive creatures were herded like 
cattle into boxcars, in the depth of the Russian winter, and left to 
freeze and starve and die. The sick, the feeble, the insane were all 
packed together in these cruel cars of death. 

"The committee's confidential agents estimate that over THREE 
MILLION JEWISH MEN, WOMEN AND CHILDREN have been 
pillaged, robbed, their homes and crops burned and they themselves 
driven forth to wander in the fields and swamps, there to suffer and 
to die. 

"It is the most hideous story of human savagery and human suf- 
fering that has ever stained the pages of history — and it is a shame 
and a disgrace that its horrible details have been concealed during all 
these months by the censors of the civilized nations which are 
in alliance with these Russian savages. 

"There have been more inoffensive Jews exposed to death, rob- 
bery, outrage and terror than there are inhabitants in all Belgium. 
Yet the whole world has been made to ring with Belgium's story, 
while the censors and war boards of Christian England and France 
have not permitted a word to be told of the awful miseries endured 
by these millions of defenseless Jewish people under the whips and 
bayonets of the barbarians of the Russian steppes. 

"It is time this conspiracy of silence was broken, time that the 
awful truth was made known, time that the American people learned 
what orgies of lust and frightful cruelty have devastated Galicia and 
Poland, time that Russia's savage government and savage officers 
and savage soldiery were no longer protected from the execration of 
the world because they are in alliance with civilized nations which 
are interested in concealing the barbarities of their allies. 

— From N. Y. American, Feb. 2, 1916. 

Show this article to Prof. Woodrow Wilson ; because I have heard that he 
is interested in humanity. Tell him that that Englishman and Baptist minister, 
the Rev. Dr. Aked, was in Europe investigating the horrors there and Dr. 
Aked says: "The Belgian man or woman has not suffered as these people." 
Yet England will not allow food to be shipped by the Red Cross from America 
to these starving desolate people. Germany has offered to pay for food. Tell 

i8 



Wilson to roll up his eyes and get off his prate about humanity to help England 
along in her war on Germany, Is there to be no divine retribution for John 
Bull and the Czar? Is there no power that can do unto these bloody men as 
they have done unto others? Vengeance is mine; I will do them up, said the 
Lord. The measure you mete, it shall be measured to you, John Bull. The 
day is not far away when no food can be shipped to England and it will not 
be German submarines. 

John Bull Calls Himself the "Honest Ruler." 

The Rev. Dr. Frank Crane Says: "England's Missions Is To Syn- 

thetize the world." Here is a Picture of Some 

of That Pirate's Synthetizing. 

Ram Chandra, a Hindu (San Francisco), says: *Tn India an agricul- 
turist is forced to pay 60 to 70 per cent of his produce to the government as 
land tax; consequently, the Hindus have become so poor that the average 

FAMINE IN INDIA. 




This cartoon is taken from Le Rire in 1899 



annual income of a Hindu is 27 rupees ($9.00), according to Lord Curzon, 
and 15 rupess according to Sir William Digby. India is poor because the 
English government drains from India five hundred million dollars 
($500,000,000) every year over and above what is spent in India. One-third 
of India's revenue is spent on armaments and less than one-sixteenth is spent 
on education and sanitation. Ninteen millions died of famine and fifteen mil- 
lions died of plague and malaria, according to Sir William Digby, in the last 
twenty years." — San Francisco Examiner, April 4, 1916. John Bull is the 
bloodiest, greediest oppressor of humanity that ever lived. Retribution and 
hell galore will be handed that bloody robber and pirate. Stupid humanity 
will get a waking up that there is going to be divine justice on this earth and 
you hypocrites down at Washington you can bet your lives on it that I am 
glad that day is near. 

19 



England Tied These People To Cannons and Blew Them To Pieces. 

Because these natives tried to clean out the British rulers. Then John 
Bull blew a lot of the leaders from cannons in sight of the natives to ter- 
rify them and make them submit to their robberous rule and starvation. 
Millions of them were reduced to starvation and died under British liberty. 
Ireland was a prosperous country and England fixed that; exterminated their 
manufacturies; murdered, robbed and taxed them until they were reduced 
to poverty and starvation and the population cut in half. England is always 
murdering some one in the name of British liberty. England tried to do us 
up in two wars to give us some of that'blasted liberty. We got a little taste 
of British liberty — the kind England has given Ireland for generations. It 
was great stuff. But George Washington could not stomach the concoction. 
Canada and Australia would had the same British liberty as Ireland if it 
had not been for George Washington and others that England called rebels. 
No wonder they do not like The Life of George Washington, Benjamin 
Franklin, and "From the Log Cabin to the White House,", in the London 
libraries. The lives of such men is "vulgar Americanism" and "blarstedly 
offensive" to the British stiff, the king, "don't yer know?" They may 
recently have condescended to admit them since this country is diabolically 
doing more for the allies than Japan and the administration is so pro-British 
as to submit to whatever Dear Old Hingland does to do up our commerce 
under the pretense of starving the Germans. No wonder the London Times 
calls the Americans "idiotic Yankees." Pretending to starve out Germany, 
so as to fool the Americans while they are doing up our commerce. Hearst 
gives it to them and the professor. 

BRITISH ASSASSINATION OF IRISH PATRIOTS 

To this day the Britishers are sorry that they were not able to do 
to George Washington what the brutal tyrants have just been doing 
to the patriots of Ireland in the name of the king and infernal British 
liberty. 

Whenever Prof. Wilson uses the word humanity he means England. 
Prof. Wilson, all four of your grand-parents were British subjects and I 
am sorry you were not born a British subject also. You act more like a 
British flunkey to the British king than you do like an American. Much of 
your blood was so recently British that, like the British, you mistake gall for 
what Americans call honor. Down at Baltimoe for instance. 

THE TYRANTS MURDER THE IRISH. 
The Irish Showed Their Good Intentions Alright. 

"The British Government has kept its military murderers steadily 
at work, and each day's cables have brought word of fresh executions, 
of killings that would shame savages, of wounded and shot-shattered 
prisoners being propped up on their broken limbs long enough for the 
executioners to riddle again with bullets the poor mangled bodies. 

No wonder that every Irish heart thirsts for vengeance. 

No wonder that the British propagandists who have prostituted 
American journalism and free speech to the unpatriotic object of drag- 

20 



ging their own country into this war to do England's fighting have 
been shamed into temporary silence. 

We should think that every one of these bootlickers, to say noth- 
ing of decent Englishmen, would blush to pronounce the name of 
Belgium again, would never open his mouth to talk of 'atrocities' or 
'humanities' again. 

With the blackened walls and tumbled ruins of Dublin echoing 
the volleys of firing squads shooting down surrendered prisoners 
whose crime was to love their native land and yearn for its indepen- 
dence and liberty, we hope, for decency's sake, that we shall hear no 
more snivelling in America over broken stained glass or shattered 
statues at Rheims and Louvain. 

With the blood of Irish prisoners and patriots reddening poor 
Ireland's soil in streams, we hope, also for decency's sake, that we 
shall hear no more cant about England's passionate and heroic sym- 
pathy for the rights and liberties of little peoples. 

With the spectacle of sorely wounded men propped up on their 
broken and shattered limbs to be shot to death, we hope, again for 
decency's sake, that there will be a final end of the cant about Britain's 
waging warfare for 'humanity's' sake. 

We trust that from Mr. Wilson down to the Providence Journal — 
an all-embracing descent from the zenith of dissembled unneutrality to 
the nadir of indecent alien propaganda — there will be an end of the 
snivel and cant and humbug which have been so effectively belied by 
the governmental and military reprisals and cruelties and murders in 
unhappy Ireland. 

We hope that the American people will never again be deluded to 
the point of willingness to waste American wealth and shed American 
blood in the contemptible role of catspaws to pull England's chestnuts 
out of the fire and ashes of a selfish and unsuccessful war, fought un- 
der the pretense of protection of^the independence of little peoples and 
of the rights of neutrals and of the humanities. 

Those Irish scholars, poets, patriots and martyrs for freedom's 
sake whose mangled bodies lie in bloody graves there in shot-riddled 
and flame-swept Dublin are the witnesses who give the lie to all the 
cant and humbug which England's American tools and propagandists 
have dinned in American ears to win America to plunge into England's 
war. 

In that sense these martyrs have done a noble service to America, 
as well as to Ireland, by the sacrifice of their lives. 

In the very instant of their deaths America drew back from the 
insidious and unpatriotic propaganda of armed alliance with England. 
We are confident that from this on that wicked and morally treason- 
able propaganda has no further powers of mischief. 

The American people will now never permit themselves to be 
dragged into Europe's war as the ally and savior of the murderers of 
Ireland's patriots and martyrs. 

The very stones in the streets would cry out against such an al- 
liance with a Government that has shot down men for doing exactly 

21 



what our own forefathers did when they pledged their lives, their 
fortunes and their sacred honor to the support of the Declaration of 
American Independence. 

The signers of that declaration would have met the same merci- 
less fate at the hands of the same British Government that the signers 
of Ireland's declaration of independence have just met had the British 
armies been able to overpower our fathers in arms. 

One could almost believe that those fathers of ours would rise 
from their graves to rebuke their degenerate sons who would ally 
themselves with the slayers of men who were brave enough and de- 
voted enough to risk their lives and their fortunes and their sacred 
honor in the great cause of human liberty. 

The American who applauds these butcheries, the American who 
has no sympathy for these victims, the American whose heart does 
not go out in compassion for Ireland, and whose heart does not burn 
with indignation against those who have again trampled her liberties 
under foot and poured out the blood of her children as a sacrifice to 
subjection and oppression, is not fit to enjoy the liberties and to wear 
the bright badge of free citizenship which our rebel forefathers gained 
for us with arms in their manly hands. — N. Y. American^ May 16, 1916. 

There is a breed of Americans that glory in it that their Tory 
ancestors in this country during the Revolutionary war stood up for 
old rotten King Gorg and opposed George Washington. It is against 
the law to tar and feather them. The devil is not in hell; he is 
m New York City working for Russia and John Bull and calls it 
neutrality. 

How London Reviled Abraham Lincoln. 

John Bull was opposed to both sides having a fair hearing; that is why 
he cut the German cable. That is the same way he acted during the Civil 
War. Mr. Henry Adams, son and private secretary of Mr. Charles Francis 
Adams, our Minister Plenipotentiary to Great Britain during that critical 
era in our history, in that fascinating book of his entitled "The Edu- 
cation of Henry Adams," says: "London was altogether beside itself on one 
point, in especial; it created a nightmare of its own, and gave it the shape of 
Abraham Lincoln. Behind this is placed another demon, if possible more 
devilish, and called it Mr. Seward. In regard to these two men English so- 
ciety seemed demented. Defense was useless ; explanation was vain. One could 
only let the passion exhaust itself. One's best friends were as unreasonable 
as enemies, for the belief in poor Mr. Lincoln's brutality and Seward's ferocity 
became a dogma of popular faith." You can see how prejudiced and unfair 
the English were about Lincoln and you are doing the very same thing to 
the Kaiser, believing the lying press. This war has demonstrated that John 
Bull is a liar and if he will lie about one thing he will lie about another, and 
that is why he went to war with Germany. 

John Bull Shot Down Inoffensive Boer Women in the Name of 

British Liberty. 

The Boers had valuable mines, and John Bull planned war to crush the 
Boers and get their mines. But the English people were opposed to that 

22 



kind of war. So John Bull had to do something to stir the English people 
so that they would be willing to go to war against the Boers. England 
always aims to have it look as though she has the humanity side of the war. 
A member of Parliament, J. Ramsay MacDonald, tells how they stirred the

British people so they would go to war against the Boers, by publishing lies 
in the Daily Mail, that the Boers were thrashing and flogging British women 
and children in South Africa. In the cause of humanity England went to war. 



The British went to war with the Boers because of the Hes that the 
British women and children were being flogged. But the real cause of the 
war was that the Boers had valuable mines, and they hung on to them, 
which enraged that notorious highway robber and assassin, who went down 
there and began killing off the Boers, burning their houses and laying the 
country desolate. Because some of the men would not surrender, John Bull 
shot down women. The British herded the women and children in camps, 
and the British admit that 14,000 died of starvation and disease. The Boers 
and Irish claim that about 25,000 died in those camps. Because some of the 
men would not surrender, the British would shoot into those camps and kill 
women and children. And when the men surrendered the British lined them 
up to be shot, and dragged their waves up and made them look on while they 
were shot. The war cost 250,000 lives and about $11,000,000,000. The hell 
and destruction that the British caused in South Africa was greater than what 
has been done to Belgium. That Britisher, C. H. Norman, says: "Even now 
Belgium has not been laid waste as the Boer republics were by Lord Kitchener 
and Lord Roberts." 

The way John Bull shot down the Boer women and burned their homes 
and made them look on when he executed their husbands for fighting for 
their homes and property, proves that he is the same heathen he was when 
he armed thousands of Lidians and turned them loose on our Ohio frontier 
and bought the scalps of our massacred people as though they had been 
wolf scalps, a tribe that must be exterminated. Read "Johnny Appleseed," of 
Harper Bros., 1915; it is a true and absorbing romance of a man who spent 
his whole life unselfishly bringing sunshine to those isolated settlers. He 
was through it all and saved scores of women and children from the savages 
that England had armed and urged on, even buying the scalps of our mas- 
sacred settlers. You may as well expect a hungry lion to refuse to eat a fat 
sheep, as to expect the British lion to not be heartless and diabolical. 

"What right did England have to destroy the Boer republic? 

"Assuming that the Boers gave foreigners few or no rights, is that any 
reason, from the American viewpoint, why any nation should send a huge 
army there to destroy the republic? Right here in the United States the 
Japanese, with true British instincts, want the right to buy and own land 
in California, equal with Americans. California has denied them such right. 
According to your correspondents, Japan's next move is the conquest of 
California. Every nation has the inherent right to say who shall and who 
shall not be citizens. Sovereignty, as the basis of ownership in all property, 
has the right to freeze out foreigners if the sovereign so desires. Did not 
Great Britain in British Guiana confiscate all oil rights, and through the 
provincial parliament pass a law making British citizenship an essential 
to owning such oil rights? An American citizen cannot buy or own oil rights 
in British Guiana to-day. The waiter has in his possession a copy of this 
law. 

"K the United States were to follow the very bad example set by England 
in South Africa it would send an army down to British Guiana to annex 
it, or, if the United States retaliated in kind upon British subjects, it would 
force every Englishman here to sell American property. Judging by what 
happened after, the Boers were right in protecting their property. Were 

24 



Boer measures of self-protection a vice in South Africa, while similar British 
measures were a virtue in British Guiana? Let us be honest with ourselves. 
Let us be Americans if we wish to be right. We are hypocrites if as a 
republic we sympathize with monarchies. We adjured monarchy 138 years 
ago. ■ '

"New York, November 10, 1914." — From New York Globe. 

ROTTEN ENGLAND. 

That powerful British writer, KipHng, has already shown the 
genuine British honor by advocating the repudiation of Englands debts 
incurred during this war. That is the kind of honor for which the 
British are so notorious and brag so about. 

The Appalling Failure of British Liberty. 
The Queen of England is George's Second Wife. 

In England children are born out of doors and grow up with a roof over 
their heads and never know what it is to have a full belly. And that is your 
damned British civilization that you brag so about and want to pass around 
to curse humanity still more. O ! think of it, they have a titled stiff, the king 
over them. But you must not tell the truth about his lefthand marriage; 
because that would offend his apron-string. Then the persons interested in 
that unlucky, lefthand affair mxust be made to swear it never, never was. No, 
you must not tell the truth about Gorg and his lefthand marriage. That 
would be libel, don't you know, and they w-ould make it blarsted exasperating 
for you? Well, he is not the son of his father. His dad was a sport and 
never accused any one of libeling him, because they told the truth about him. 
If he had it would have kept him busy. 

In England when a man dies his estate all goes to the oldest son and 
the rest of the family get kicked out of doors into the street and poverty. 
This keeps property from being divided up and makes a few snobs and mil- 
lions of poor. The titled stiffs and rich men rule England, and the wealth 
is kept in the hands of a few. 

The rottenest, shakiest civilization is British, excepting Mexico. It 
is well described in "The Catechism of Balaam, Jr." : "Take England herself. 
Square mile after square mile of slums which represent the intensest and 
most continuous misery, the utmost degradation, the most appalling failure 
of civilization, to be found anywhere. Rural population disappearing, health 
and strength ditto. Remaining rural population divided between landlords 
who live on the rest, farmers whose political minds have been ossified into 
snobbish toryism for centuries, and laborers who dare not raise a voice in 
public affairs. A tory party of Bourbon folly, a "Liberal" party existing for 
the big manufacturers and ruled by the Rothschilds, Sassoons and Samuelses 
through secret party funds. Nowhere else, indeed, as they boast, does liberty 
flourish as in England and her possessions, thank God !"

"Britain Warned of Her Peril," Revolution, 

in 1912. 

Beset With Strikes and Taxes, Facing Danger of Hungry People, 

Burdened With Support of Fleet, Kingdom's "Sun Must Set 

Unless Something Happens." People No Longer 

Love Order But Cheer the "Marseillaise." 

John L. Eddy wrote an article: "What is the Matter With England?" 
He mentioned the increasing cost of living and taxes and the discontent of 
labor and agitation and said: "Every Sunday thousands of workingmen with 
huge banners march either through Trafalgar Square or Hyde Park playing 
the 'Marseillaise' and cheering socialism." 

Then he quoted from an article on "The Future of the British Race," 
by Henry Page Croft, M. P., in the London Outlook. Mr. Croft pointed at 
some length how the United States and Germany and Japan had forged ahead 
and England was dropping behind. Then he said: "There is only one cer- 
tainty about this position, and that is unless something happens, the sun of 
the British lies must set." — From N. Y. American, June 23, 1912. 

Long before this war. Dr. Forbes Winslow, one of England's foremost 
alienists, said : "There is no doubt that England is going to the dogs, and that 
much quicker than most people would imagine. The difficult part of the prob- 
lem is to get the nation to realize that we are rapidly moving toward the 
downward path, and to take the proper steps to apply the brake before it is 
too late." Then he gave figures about the increase of criminals. 

John Bull Was Having Such Domestic Troubles That He Went To 

War To Get Relief. 

The ferocious suffragettes of England were burning depots and churches, 
residences and other buildings; burning and destroying mail; pouring mo- 
lasses into letter boxes; destroying masterpieces of art so that public gal- 
leries had to be closed; breaking plate-glass windows; mobbing officials; 
breaking into the Queen's castle and terrorizing her. They did not know 
what next would happen. But the Queen can rest now; by going to war 
they have stopped all this unrest and agitation and all without granting fe- 
male suffrage. And in an interview to a New York American, Miss Cris- 
tabel Pankhurst said she believed this war would sweep away all barriers 
to female suffrage in England. It is a ferocious brand of suffragettes that 
would welcome this war as a means of securing the ballot. American women 
are not that kind. King Edward said: "Why cannot our women be smart 
like the American women." If our ladies want to vote, I am not one to 
deny them that right. John Bull was having such domestic troubles that 
he was glad to go to war to get relief. 

That American, John L. Stoddard, the famous traveller, author and 
lecturer on the different countries of the world, was in Europe when war 
broke out. He says : "You know that last July the fate of the English Gov- 
ernment was critical. A civil war was imminent in Ulster. Shots had been 
fired in Dublin. The Cabinet knew that any day the ground might sink 
beneath their feet. Hence, eager to avert internal trouble, they grasped with 
joy the long-waited opportunity to join with others (for England never 

26 



fights a European power alone), in ruining German commerce and destroy- 
ing the German fleet. How can England, of all nations, talk of violating in- 
ternational rights? Her wars in Asia, Africa and Egypt have been waged 
for conquest and the carrying out of her imperial policy. Think of her 
war against the Boers, universally reprobated abroad and largely condemned 
at home!" 

John Bull wanted this war more than any other nation. In 1914 he had 
the jimjams, he knows. You pirate, the summer of 1914 your rotten affairs 
were shaking, wabbling; your queen was in terror and your lump of dirt 
was overshadowed with gloom as dark as your cockney fogs. You welcomed 
this war with both hands. Even your belligerent female suffrage convincers 
welcomed it. Retribution aplenty will come home to you for your bloody 
deeds. The mills of the gods may be a little slow in starting up; but when 
the grinding is through ahnighty John Bull will have kissed the dust. The 
nations that forget God shall be turned into the grave, that is hell (Ps. ix, 17). 

The Allies and Humanity. 

What is Russia but a medieval and tyrannical autocracy and a 
corrupt and tyrannical bureaucracy imposed upon a mass of wretched 
slaves? Where is there a government so faithless, so unscrupulous, so 
cruel and so barbarous? 

For four hundred years, by force, and by perfidy, the Russian 
autocracy has stamped out the independence, the religion, and even 
the very language and literature of one small and helpless people after 
another. Look at what Russia has done to Poland, to Finland, to 
Courland, to Bassarabia, to Persia, to every weak province or State 
upon which she could lay her tyrant hands. 

Does any man in the possession of his senses pretend to believe 
that democratic government, individual liberty and the great cause 
of civilization would be secured by prostrating more territory and 
more people in Europe under the heel of this wicked, savage, me- 
dieval and semi-barbarous Russian autocracy and bureaucracy? 

As to any of the allies being at war for the preservation of neu- 
tral small States, that is exactly what the King of Greece styles it — 
'cant.' 

The King of Greece knows what respect England, France, Italy 
and Russia are paying to the neutral rights and territory of Greece. 

They have seized his seaports, occupied his islands, forcibly 
blockaded his merchant ships, destroyed his railroads and bridges, 
attempted to incite revolution against his rightful authority and hold 
Greece captured against the will of her sovereign and her people. 

The excuse is that military necessity demands the violation of 
Greek neutrality, that all they want is free passage for their troops 
and secure landing points for reinforcements and that they will pay 
for the damage they do when their temporary occupation is over. 

And those are word for word, letter for letter, the exact demands 
made upon Belgium by Germany, and the exact excuses and promises 
made by Germany when she violated Belgian neutrality. 

If the King of Belgium had acted in the fact of overwhelming 

-^7 



force as the King of Greece has acted, Belgium would be in the same 
condition as Greece is to-day — occupied in contempt for her rights 
and her sovereignt}^ by armed forces, but with the people unhurt by 
battle and war. 

And if the King of Greece had acted as did the King of Belgium 
and offered armed resistance to the allies' violation of Greek neu- 
trality, Greece, as her King truly says, would have been by now an- 
other Belgium. 

Some time, when they cool off, a lot of Americans will realize that 
they have been indulging in hysteria and neglecting their usual com- 
mon sense for the past year or so." — February 3, 1916. — X. Y. 
American. 

Wilson's hypocrisy about humanity is raw cant to help England rule-or- 
ruin, and in this case it sure is ruin for all. If the American fools ever wake 
up to how they have been deceived about England and see what they have 
done by helping that diabolical British Government, demagogue Roosevelt 
will have to cut out his ranting about the hyphen. When that ranting dema- 
gogue insists that England indemnify the Boers and get out of the Boers 
country he will have shown a disposition to be just in European affairs and 
not before. Germany must not do in self-defense what England does to 
extend her empire. But what the American people should wake up to, is the 
crisis that is coming in about three years after this w^ar. Roosevelt is the 
man they want on the job then, and not Hughes or Wilson. This nation 
should have years ago and during this war heeded Hearst. When Hearst 
ran for mayor the last time. Wall Street and Tammany Hall and the graft- 
ing politicians and saloon-keepers and white-slavers and pickpockets of New- 
York City worked against Hearst. That was a first class recommendation 
that the city needed him. The robbers would not have got millions out of 
the subways if he had been elected. Rotten American politicians must want 
this civilization to go to pieces. Rotten American politics is what rules here. 
That is the American government. Rotten things always go to pieces, hi 
England and all Europe there was great discontent before this war. and in 
three years with their taxes it will be more discontent than ever. And the 
longer the war lasts, the worse it will make it, Europe cannot long ward off 
revolutions and anarchy. That will cause the biggest panic here; lawlessness 
will follow. I tell you Roosevelt is the man you want to deal w4th it. I never 
have voted for that demagogue. But you will need him and not Wilson or 
Hughes. 

How Treacherous John Bull Was Forced to Grant the Boers Self- 

Government. 

"It is one of the terms of surrender by the Boers that self-government 
would be granted; but the British militarists would never have kept that un- 
dertaking but for the insistence of Sir H. Campbell-Bannerman, the 'Chad- 
band' who denounced the South African campaign, in speech after speech, 
to your furious indignation. 

What Is Neutrality? 

Our Ambassador to Germany during our war with Spain, 
Andrew D. White, said : "The American Consul at Hamburg having 

28 



notified me that a Spanish vessel, supposed to be loaded with arms 
for use against us in Cuba, was about to leave that port, I hastened 
to the Foreign Office and urged that vigorous steps be taken, with 
the result that the vessel, which in the meantime had left Hamburg, 
was overhauled and searched at the mouth of the Elbe. The German 
Government might easily have pleaded, in answer to my request, 
that the American Government had generally shown itself opposed 
to any such interference with the shipment of small arms to belliger- 
ents, and had contended that it was not obliged to search vessels to 
find such contraband of war." — From his Autobiography. 

Christ said : Blessed are the peacemakers. No, with Prof. Woodrow Wil- 
son, it is blessed are the infernal ammunition devils that have helped my dear 
old Hingland. Prof. Wilson recently tried to get this country into war with 
Germany to help out England. 

. With Prof. Woodrow Wilson it was not neutrality to loan to Germany 
and Austria; but it was neutrality to loan to England. That man is a liar 
and a hypocrite who says the infernal deal this country has handed Germany 
is neutrality, and I do not care how little is his head, and big his conceit and 
brilliant his rhetoric and loud his prate about the law of humanity. 

Representative Mann, Republican leader of the House, said: "Message 
shows Wilson expects to force war with Germany." — N. Y. American. 

Senator Vardamann said : 'T think to go to war for the reasons President 
Wilson assigned would be wholly unjustifiable. Just why Germany should be 
held to strict accountability for every infraction of international law while 
the allies are permitted to do anything their cupidity and advantage may sug- 
gest, I cannot understand. I think this Government ought to be neutral and 
that the contending forces should be treated with equal consideration." — N. Y. 
American. 

Germany Is Handed a Diabolical Brand of Neutrality by the 
American Hypocrites. 

In the backwoods a neighbor sang out to a woman, ''Say, your 
ole man is in a fight with a bear out there." The woman answered : 
''Well, I do not care which licks." And she refused to help either 
her husband or the bear. Now that was real neutrality. When you 
insist upon supplying to one side what enables it to carry on the war 
you are not neutral. To be neutral you must not supply to either 
side the help without which it could not carry on the war. But be- 
cause you have made this country the base of supplies for John Bull 
and his varigated, revengeful and barbarous allies to blow Germans 
into hell, you insist that to be neutral you have got to keep on being 
unneutral. The Mexicans might just as well say that they have got 
to keep on killing Americans or they cannot be rebels. It is the same 
infernal logic ; the devil's own monstrous lie ; diabolic sophistry. 
Now you British maniacs that cuss the Kaiser in your sleep, let out 
your howls about "nagging" the flunkey. 

WHY DO YOU NOT BRAG ABOUT THAT FINE DEMO- 
CRATIC TARIFF 

A conceited theorist put the country industrially and financially 

29 



on the bum by turning the balance of trade against us. So that when 
John Bull got this war going the country was in such a demoralized 
condition industrially and financially that we had to feed this hell in 
Europe to better our own economic condition. We had to furnish 
the implements to keep that hell going because we were on the bum 
by a fool tariff — a tariff that Hearst had always opposed because it 
eliminated reprocity and the American workman. 

The Wilson Administration Is a Lamentable Fiasco. 

"After the Wilson tariff law, the balance of trade set strongly against 
this country, and at the opening of the war the balance of trade against us 
amounted to something like $200,000,000. Our factories were closing, our 
banks and business enterprises were cramped for money, and the Government, 
like many individuals, found expenses greater than income. 

"Then came the war in Europe. Every foreign nation wanted gold. 
Our debt for the goods imported in such a flood under the Wilson tariff was 
payable in gold or goods. Our exports, being shut off during the early days 
of hostilities, could not begin to discharge any considerable portion of this 
debt. In a few weeks more than $100,000,000 in gold was shipped, and our 
financial situation was unmistakably dangerous." — N. Y. American, November 
19, 1914. 

We never had a Democratic tariff yet that did not play hell with the 
industries of the country and the U. S. Treasury. That is one of the main 
reasons why we had to have a war tax. As Hearst wrote, September 20, 
1914: "War or no war, the Democratic party's tariff policies were proving 
failures. Before war in Europe was declared, or even contemplated, the 
balance of trade was showing immensely against this country. Our export 
balance had decreased over a quarter of a billion dollars in seven months. 
Gold was being exported in quantity. The income tax had proved insufficient 
to compensate for the reduction in the tariff revenues. Foreign goods were 
coming into our country, perhaps not in sufficient quantities to raise an 
adequate governmental revenue under the reduced rate of taxation, but cer- 
tainly in sufficient quantities to deprive our American manufacturers of their 
home market and our American laborers of employment. 

"American men out of employment were parading the streets. Ameri- 
can business men in bankruptcy were putting up their shutters. American 
factories were closing and discharging their employees, and, instead of 
America shipping more goods abroad than before the reduction of the tariff, 
America was importing more and shipping less, with the balance of trade 
going more and more to our disadvantage". . . . 

He Wished a Lion Had Gotten Roosevelt. 

This war has been a godsend to this bungling administration. A busi- 
ness man down south while explaining, before this war, how the different 
industries there had been crippled by this tariff, said: "Personally I have 
nothing against Theodore Roosevelt, but I wish a lion had got him while 
he was in Africa. It was his personality that defeated Taft and gave us a 
college professor, a master of rhetoric and a theorist, and this fool tariff 
has tied me up tight." Before this war this tariff shut up factories here and 

30 



did not lower the cost of living, and it caused a heavy trade balance against 
this country which necessitated heavy gold shipments to Europe and was 
very disastrous. Men in Louisiana worked to elect Wilson and then went 
out and committed suicide after the fool tariff was handed them. It did 
not reduce the price of sugar; but it reduced the revenue to the government 
$60,000,000 per annum. Those who voted for Roosevelt and for Taft voted 
for protection and far outnumber those who. wanted a "change." So it is a 
minority administration as well as one of unprecedented gall. And remem- 
ber that I have not forgotten that we had Teddy Roosevelt. This administra- 
tion has not encouraged home production except in implements of hell to 
destroy human life, and it is more anxious about selling ammunition and 
delivering it than about selling cotton. This tariff turned the trade balance 
against us which was only overcome by the bloodiest war in history. There- 
fore this carnage in Europe is a godsend to this bungling administration, 
which deserves to be buried good and deep. 

When the revolutions start and keep spreading it will cause a big panic 
and consternation in New York and this country — so many will rush to get 
their money out of the banks. Then it will be seen that Woodrow Wilson 
was the worst fizzle ever in the White House. If he had not disregarded the 
custom of his party he could not have gotten the nomination, but Clark. 
And if he had not disregarded the choice and will of his party as expressed 
through the primary laws of the American people, he could not have been 
president. The donkey is the emblem of the Democratic party, but in this 
case the emblem got into the White House instead of Clark. A small, con- 
ceited man in a big place. Unprecedented gall, sophistry, buncombe, twaddle 
and pork-grabbing and British interests — right or wrong always for British 
interests is the policy of this disastrous administration. 

See him dig up that antiquated British ceremony and go down and read 
his compositions to the boys at the other end of Pennsylvania Avenue to 
gratify his pedagogic importance. Well, Roosevelt did not have to send his 
physiog along with his messages to convince those youngsters that he was on 
the job. But then Roosevelt wears a much larger hat and has always gone 
after something more strenuous than school-teaching. If you want to see 
shifty Wilsonism exposed, get my big book and read about that conceited 
little bragger, the tail that wags the dog in our navy department. Garrison 
discovered that this is an administration of small men and that is why he 
got out. 

You Washington, D. C, boneheads, how do you like what Hud- 
son Maxim says? Here it is: "One of our great troubles is with our 
governing force, which is away below the average for intelligence. 
Most of it is about on a level with the intellectuality that gathers 
about a red-hot stove in a country town on a very cold night." — N. Y. 
American. 

ROTTEN, ROTTEN AMERICAN POLITICS! 

Where is There Anything More Rotten Than American Politics? 

Where? Down in Mexico and That Went to Pieces Like 

Rotten Things Always Do. 

Our government is notorious for inefficiency and corruption. Since this 
Mexican trouble on the border Sam Blyth of San Antonio, Texas, has dis- 

31 



covered that np to August 1914, the United States army cost as much as the 
German army. The rotten repubHcan and democratic politicians have got to 
get their snouts into the United States Treasury. It is not the army that 
costs so much ; it is our rotten, grafting pohticians that steal. The demo- 
crats paid 18 millions for Panama land not worth more than a million and 
General Goethal's exposure of this steal they cut out of his report before 
allowing his report to go to Congress. 

American sapheads, think of it, up to August, 19 14, we spent as much 
on an army as Germany, and Germany had four million trained soldiers with 
efficient equipment to show for her money. And we did not have enough U. S. 
soldiers to police the Mexican border ; had to call on the state militia and had 
flying machines that would not fly and machine guns that were as unreliable 
as Professor \\'oodrow Wilsons campaign pledges to the voters. 

The late Alfred Henry Lewis wrote: "To-day, as twenty years 
ago, during the Cleveland regime, the country is being run by Wall 
Street. Now as then Big Money is in the saddle. Also Big Money 
means not only American money, but English money ; and is as much 
the alias of Lord Cowdray and S. Pearson & Son, as it is of Mr. Mor- 
gan, Mr. Hill and Mr. House. . . . You are inclined to challenge 
the assertion. Take a look backward glance. Wasn't the New Haven 
muddle in its last arrangement adjusted to suit the wish of Big 
Money? Wasn't the telephone troubles settled upon plans submitted 
by Big Money? Isn't the Union Pacific just now splitting up an im- 
proper $85,000,000 as an alleged dividend because Big Money insists? 
As irons still in the fire. Big Money counts the Panama Canal (repeal 
of free tolls), the 5 per cent, freight rate advance and the rescue of the 
Steel Trust from dissolution or dismemberment. Big Money looks 
forward in these affairs to a triangle of triumphs. 

Get at it by the Socratic method upon the hope that you have not 
read your Plato for fun. Doesn't Mr. Wilson, during his New York 
City visits, stop at the home of Mr. House? Isn't Mr. House, when in 
Washington, as much at home in the White House as Mr. Wilson? 
Can anyone to-day climb the White House back stairs without bump- 
ing into Mr. House in the dark? Aren't Mr. Morgan, of Wall and 
Broad, and Lord Cowdray, of England and Mexico, the partners of 
Mr. House? Don't all these names mean the railroads, together with 
the bonds and stocks thereof ?"— From the N. Y. "American." 

Since Mr. Lewis wrote this, the free tolls for American ships have 
been repealed and the 5 per cent, freight rate increase has been se^ 
cured and no one has expected the Steel Trust to be dissolved, not 
after the way our politicians run the courts and the administration. 

Boodle Rules To-Day. 

Mr. Lippman in his "A Preface to PoHtics," says: "Ours is a problem 
in which deception has become organized and strong ; 'where truth is poisoned 
at its source; one in which the skill of the shrewdest brains is devoted to 
misleading a bewildered people." Have you forgotten the exposures Hearst 
gave of how that saintly Standard Oil controlled U. S. senators and other 
officials. During the last twenty years the man who has been around and 

32 



not seen vote-buying or heard men say : They took his money and he had 
a right to get something for it — I say the man who has not seen vote-buying 
or heard men openly talking about what different men got for their votes, 
he must be very obtuse, whether in Chicago or New York or Jersey or West 
Virginia or Ohio. Terre Haute, Ind., or Danville are not the only places 
votes are bought and sold. It is a common thing to get the offices, before 
and after. In Chicago, when Bryan ran the second time, I saw that some 
one was buying votes and stepped up to a man and said some one is buying 
votes here. I stood off and watched a little longer and that very man I had 
spoken to was the one who was passing out the dough. Now brag like a 
hypocrite that this rotten republic is free. What does your vote amount to 
with a rotten gang dow^n at Washington? See how^ McReynolds, when he 
was Attorney General, sat upon the lid and tried to prevent the exposure 
of the gang that looted the New Haven Railroad and Mr. Wilson boosted 
that kind of a man on to the U. S. Supreme bench. What rules down there? 

How We Got That Famous American Beauty Known as 
Mr. Standard Oil. 

"Hundreds of small business men were cruelly crushed by the soulless 
Rockefeller Juggernaut and thrown into bankruptcy and idleness. Rivals 
having been thus heartlessly ruined, the monster gorged itself on the public's 
money, charging prices that meant more millions for Rockefeller than he 
could count." — Mr. Forbes in N. Y. American. 

It was the younger Mr. Rockefeller who charmed his Bible class with 
the metaphor of the trusts and the American beauty rose. Just as the single 
rose in its fullest beauty could be produced only by pinching off all other 
buds that formed upon its parent stem, so the industrial corporation in its 
fullest efficiency, as for example the Standard Oil Company, can be formed 
only by pinching off and throwing into the pit of bankruptcy all competitors 
that threaten its supremacy. So argued Mr. Rockefeller to the disciples that 
heard him gladly. 

John D. Rockefeller is a well-known patriot, whose relations with United 
States Senators as disclosed by the correspondence of his business associate, 
John D. Archbold, greatly illuminated some mysteries of American politics. 
Indeed, the people should be grateful that the whole Government is not pinched 
off that the Rockefeller fortune may reach its fullest efflorescence. — From 
N. Y. American, April 28, 1914. 

See how the bountiful philanthropists used the soldiers to crush the 
miners in Colorado. Bountiful, generous philanthropists that never pay taxes 
if there is a way to keep from it. There is no glory in paying taxes. 

Trust-Controlled Judges. 

See how the United States Supreme Court exceded its constitutional pre- 
rogatives and had the temerity to do some legislating on the side for Mr. 
Standard Oil by inserting the word "Reasonable," which Congress had refused 
to do to help out that greedy concern. The dissenting judge was right about 
that job. A while back a government tax on gasoline was recommended. 
Mr. Standard Oil reserves all rights there are to tax that precious oil and 
to convince the consumers keeps boosting the price. That is how Mr. Stand- 

33 



arcl Oil is being '"reasonable." Justice Hughes, when he was Governor of 
Xew York, demonstrated that he would not loosen up the grip of oppressive 
Wall Street and so vetoed the 2c. a mile fare bill. If Congress wants to let 
in the light in New York, let Congress start a dead-in-earnest investigation 
of the New York Central Railroad. Hughes was harmless to such rapacious 
interests. 

Big Wall Street Crooks Purposely Caused the Panic of 1907. 

In 1907, a surly robber of Wall Street wanted to organize a Steel Trust, 
but Roosevelt would not consent ; so the gang, bound to rule or ruin, the panic 
of 1907 was engineered to force him to give in. To start the panic one of the 
partners went to a N. Y. City plutocratic daily and had inserted a notice that 
the Knickerbocker Trust Co. was in bad; that started the run, and after it 
had spread to other banks, Roosevelt caved in. The robbers cleaned up over 
sixty millions on the sale of water. That is sowing to the wind. By and by 
we will reap a whirlwind of vengeance. Such lawlessness begets lawlessness. 

The Rotten and Robberous Railroads. 

It costs a certain amount to build and equip a railroad, and under the 
competitive system that road is entitled to interest on that investment and 
the expenses of operating and upkeep. The road is entitled to that much for 
service, and however enormous the traffic may be the road is not entitled to 
any more than it costs to render that service, that is interest on investment, 
expenses of operating and upkeep. But that was not the way. As the old 
Vanderbilt put it: "The public be damned." And as CoUis P. Huntington 
gaged the rates: "AH the traffic will bear." Business was to charge all the 
traffic could stand up under and then issue stocks to the amount that 
the income of the road could pay a dividend on in prosperous times. 

The biggest California oranges that grow sold on the fruit-stands 
there, April, 1916, for 20 and 25c a dozen; get back to New York 
and pay 7c each for the same oranges and it is not the N. Y. fruit 
stands that get the difference. The California fruitgrowers and the 
people are robbed. 

Joseph N. Teal, of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce, testified before the 
Senate Committee on the Interocean Canals that : "Twenty-five per cent, of the 
fruit crop annually is permitted to rot because we cannot get it to the eastern 
markets at rates that justify gathering in. The fruit business in time must 
collapse unless we get rid of our enormous waste. If we had lower rates, a 
market for lower grades of fruit would develop and the people would have the 
advantage of cheaper fruit." Honest, hard-working people must loose much 
of the fruits of their labor, because unscrupulous men pumped in the water, 
and rates have got to be higher than they should be because of the water. 

The American people are paying hundreds of millions every year 
in fares and freight rates because of watered railroad stocks that is just 
legalized robbery. 

"Our American public life has been corrupted until we have almost 
ceased to have confidence in the honesty of anybody. Many of our business 
men have been made cowards, and our courts have been caused to forfeit 

34 



public confidence, and thoughtful men made to fear for the existence of the 
Republic itself by reason of the unequal distribution of wealth and power 
through the private operation of our railroads and other public service cor- 
porations." — New York American, March 15, 1915. 

"The President's gift of fifty millions a year to the railroads. The 
spectacle of the President and his Cabinet lobbying for the railroads is not 
a pleasing one. No Tammany deal with managers of public service corpora- 
tions in New York was ever more discreditable and no discrimination against 
railroads which we wrecked by criminal directors like the New Haven and 
the Rock Island." — N. Y. American, Dec. 15, 1914. 

Wilson's Financial Legislation for the Bankers. 

"When Mr. Wilson was pushing through the rejuvenated Aldrich bill, 
fresh from the Wall Street typewriters, many Congressmen urged that provi- 
sion should be made for the farmers as well as big business. Mr. Wilson 
refused to have anything interpolated in the Wall Street document. Inquiry 
has recently demonstrated, as given in an official report, that more than three 
thousand national banks, to whom the government loans funds at four per cent., 
are charging their customers double this rate. And the same report shows 
that more than a thousand national banks charge from ten up to one hundred 
and twenty per cent, per annum, making the farmers practically their slaves. 
Because Mr. Wilson turned down every request to provide for these in his 
Federal Reserve bill, the farmers are today fully alive to the character of 
the man. A change of heart at this late date will not re-establish him in the 
confidence of the farmers." — John Brisben Walker in the N. Y. American, 
January 12, 1916. 

Commission Men and Combines Rob Producer and Consumer. 

See how the robbers boosted the prices of food as soon as the war 
started. See how they made the poor of N. Y. City pay as high as $20 a ton 
for coal. "Increased prices caused by the intervention between producer 
and consumer of monopolistic intermediaries, trusts or forestallers of mar- 
kets, taking for themselves all the tribute extorted from the consumer and 
giving the producer no share of the higher profits, are unnatural and wholly 
hurtful. Those engaged in the operation are criminals as burglars or 
murderers are criminals. They should be made to pay the penalty of their 
crimes, and they should be made to understand right now, before prosecu- 
tion, before investigation even, that they can no more compound their 
sentences in the event of conviction by payment of a fine than a murderer 
can in the same way escape the gallows." — N. Y. American, Aug. 28, 1914. 

These Immaculate Cusses and Muckraking. 

Whenever one exposes these big cusses and their "damnable rascality," 
some of their champions shout muckraking ! The City of New York will have 
to spend more than one hundred millions to finish its subways. Yet the big 
crooks fixed it so the city will get no income before 1954. And just remember, 
Tweed was sent up for the little jobs he did. Is not justice a farce today? 
Hearst is still fighting the gang that he has always fought. Yes, it is muck- 
raking to expose such men and their puppets in office. Well, the people will 

35 



do worse than muckraking when the after-clap of this British war on Ger- 
many hits us. Plutocratic lawlessness has about reached its height in this 
British war on Germany. For Wall Street is in it too. 

Judge Gary, that coat of whitewash you applied a while back is getting 
pretty streaked. Judge Gary said: "It is our duty to disabuse the public 
mind of the idea that men of prominence, of wealth, of leadership in finance 
and industry are inimical to the public interest, and to convince people in 
general that they are doing things that really advance the best interests of 
the country." — From N. Y. American. Yes, Judge, it is time to slather on 
more whitewash. 

Voters, the New York American is my political New Testament. Judge 
Gary is at the head of, a beneficent institution that had water pumped into it 
and then squeezed out and pumped in some more — in all about fifteen hundred 
million dollars' worth. So the Judge is in a position to fully appreciate what 
these bountiful cusses have done for the best interests of the country and 
especially the workingmen and the dear public. A robberous tariff and Win- 
chesters helped the original concern which was also efficiently nurtured by 
an elaborate rebate system, of course all for the best interests of the country. 

Big Robbers Do Not Go to Jail. 

They are financial prodigies and immune from the law that applies to 
the small fry. For thirty years prior to 1903 the New Haven R. R. paid 
8 to 10 per cent, dividends. It runs through a populous and rich territory. 
It shares sold for $240 per share. Many widows invested all their savings 
in New Haven stock because it had paid so well for years. There were 
more than 22,000 stockholders. In 1903 the Wall Street crooks got control 
of New Haven and in 10 years had piled upon that road 321 million dollars 
liabilities, and it not only did not pay dividends but was not quite earning 
its fixed charges, and the roadbed and equipment had deteriorated so that 
wrecks were frequent, killing 54 persons and maiming over 400. "During 
the period when most of the press of the country was lauding Morgan as an 
inspired financier, a builder, not a wrecker, a great philanthropist and a 
public spirited citizen, the New York American and the Boston American — 
the two Hearst papers in the territory most immediately affected — were de- 
scribing him as Mr. Mellen's testimony shows he really was — a rapacious 
dictator, with a mania for monopoly and its fruits, brow-beating his financial 
associates and robbing the public at the same time, and treading as far on 
the dangerous side of the criminal law as high-priced lawyers, skilled in 
law-evasion, would permit." — From N. Y. American, May 20, 1914. 

"The devil is a roaring lion, going around, seeking whom he may de- 
vour." Now that is not from the New York Journal. 

A while back that Morgan bunch said they did not get the loot. At 
that time I said if some one else had beaten the Boss to it there would have 
gone up a howl that would have shaken Wall Street and made them think 
the Judgment Day had come. The exposures leave no doubt as to who got 
the lion's shares. A robber who steals millions must not have the goods 
taken from him like the small fry that steals a purse with $50 in it. It is a 
sacrilege to expose the big robber; he is a financial king, but Hearst's dailies 
call them looters and pirates. 

36 



"Why should the biggest man in Wall Street stay out of jail when it 
is perfectly clear that he is a thief and should be in jail with the others? 
Is not a rich man guilty of theft MORE criminal than the poor man with 
his great temptation and dire necessity?" — From N. Y. Journal, Oct. 3, 1914. 

Steal $50 and you are looked upon with contempt and sent up for being 
a cheap skate. Steal $60,000,000 and you are not locked up: no, you are 
a wizard of finance and shell out a little to the politicians and judges. They 
will not interfere with a man of your calibre. That would be interfering 
with business, don't you know? Sixty millions that is legitimate thrift. So 
do not be a cheap skate or you deserve to be sent up. The rotten Subway 
exposures just now demonstrate that if you are not a piker like Tweed, you 
will be looked upon as a big and important man. 

To send a few of the recent robbers of the New Haven road to the 
Federal penitentiary would, indeed, be a disturbance to business — the too 
common business of stealing from the stockholders of a railroad all that 
their stock represents. 

"The trouble with this country is with the big men that rule. Bribes, 
corruption, threats, promises are their weapons. . . . The big men are the 
criminals, instigators of crime, givers of bribes, corruptors of government. 
Rottenness in office is their work." — N. Y. Journal, July 25, 1912. 

Lincoln as a Prophet. 

President Lincoln a short time before his assassination, in a letter to a 
friend in southern Illinois made a prophesy, which was published about 1872, 
in a paper in Washington, D. C, called Columbia. President Lincoln wrote: 
"I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes 
me to tremble for the safety of my country. As a result of the war, corpora- 
tions have been enthroned, an era of corruption in high places will follow and 
the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working 
upon the prejudices of the people until the wealth is aggregated in a few 
hands and the republic destroyed. I feel at this moment more anxiety for the 
safety of my country than ever before, even in the midst of war." 

At the time some of you big robbers were engineering the panic of 1907, 
Hetty Green, the financier, in an interview to the N. Y. World, said: "The 
financial situation is going to the devil. Poor people are suffering all around 
us. Stock watering is in everything. The innocent are being squeezed. 
There was a time the oppressors of the innocent went to jail. It is ruinous. 
Young men of the present day will know what it is; you all will be fighting 
soon and not a foreign foe." 

A retired banker: "We in America are moving fast toward social revo- 
lution. Conflicts between labor and capital are assuming the proportions of 
civil war." — Frederick Townsend Martin. The coal miners' strike in Colo- 
rado and West Virginia have been of that nature. In 1898, after the coal 
miners in Illinois went on a strike and lost, several thousand of them went 
out through the farming section and helped themselves to the farmers' cattle 
and hogs and dug up potatoes. Too big a bunch for a farmer to stop. In 
the last strike in Pennsylvania the miners wanted to enforce conditions that 
would damage the mines, which the native-born miner opposed; so the 

37 



foreigners held meetings excluding the native American. Such cattle as 
that is only fit to be ruled by the bayonet. 

The Champion Muckraker! 

Nineteen Hundred years ago there was a man on earth who was worse 
than a muckraker. He said, you have made my fathers house a den of thieves, 
and he upset their junk and goods and drove out the gang. I would enjoy 
seeing him show up in this country. Would not our rank demagogues and 
lying, grafting politicians and the robbers of Wall Street and that bloodiest 
of all pirates and assassins, John Bull and the bloody rulers of Europe quake 
and snarl? That British stiff, the king, and his bloody, tyrannical men can 
plot and plan to get war and then they can sit back and order their men to 
go in and be fodder for the cannons and slaughter each other; but they are 
safe, and divine wrath will not hand it to them, and pay them back in their 
own bloody coin. We will see and that in the near future. You devils do 
believe and will yet quake and tremble (Jas. 2:15). 

"The Hon (Rev. v:5) implies the function of domain. This is not only 
the direction of authority, but the formulation of the system over which 
authority is exercised. To stand under, or understand the voice of the lion, 
which is the voice of authority, is to come into structural relationship and 
subjection to the force of organic unity and form. The voice of thunder, 
which is the voice of the divine command and' the roar of the lion, will cause 
a quaking of the other beasts of the field. If the lion in this case is the power 
of the divine dominion, all other dominions will quake and tremble at this 
voice of authority. . . . Thus thunder of John's symbolic language begins with 
a divine declaration in the heavens." — 740, p. 131 : Isaiah xxxi : 8, 9. 

Labor and Capital. 

What makes civilization so shaky? It is because there is no justice in 
the world. It is robbery and robbery and oppress the people. 

Robbing the producer and consumer is what is wrong. There is no 
justice. Any system that enables a man to enrich himself from others labor 
is robbery. The labor question will never be settled until it is adjusted on 
the basis of absolute justice. That is. Labor shall get what it produces and 
not some hog in human form. War and poverty will continue to curse the 
earth until labor gets what it produces. Civilization will be bloody and shaky 
until men will be willing to be of service to the world and not take more than 
their service is worth as the millionaires and titled stiffs of Europe do. Civili- 
zation has got to come to it and the revolutions and destruction just ahead will 
force them to it with a vengeance. When the after-clap of this British war 
on Germany hits us it will cause a panic and consternation in this country. 
It will appal the immaculate cusses of Wall Street that are directly to blame 
for this wars lasting so long. 

World Federation to Abolish War. 

Human nature is selfish. If you want to abolish war there must be 
love between man and man. They must be tied together by love. The 
Allies to-day are tied together by selfish interests — not love, but devilish 

38 



selfishness. How are you going to tie men together when selfishness rules 
the world? To talk about a United States of Europe is sheer foolishness. 
You cannot tie men together by scraps of paper or a body of men meeting 
at the Hague. A man hires Pinkerton men to shoot down his striking 
laborers and uses the nefarious rebate system to cut the throats of his com- 
petitors, and after he has made his pile he throws bouquets at himself by 
separating himself from a few lumps of his ill-gotten loot as a philanthropist. 
Bah ! Bountiful philanthropists swell around with their untold and untaxed 
millions and thousands of wage-slaves are walking around on their uppers, 
and you expect to tie men together and abolish war. You cannot see straight. 
Your world federation would work like a rope of sand. Civilization is on 
the verge of the bloodiest catastrophe that can overtake it and you cannot 
bring stupid humanity to their senses. 

You editors who are stirring the people to back England are rushing 
them headlong to destruction, which will overtake them soon enough without 
your blind help. You need not damn me because things are rotten and 
shaky. Supplying ammunition to England is only making your own destruc- 
tion that much easier. Cataclysms destructive of many, many millions have 
come in the past and another is almost due. Many centuries hence will be 
another. This has been the order of things and will be until a large part 
of humanity ceases to live on the propagative plane and the world is ruled 
by love instead of capitalism and devilish selfishness. Competitism is the 
house founded upon the sands of individualism. Soon come the storm of 
class and race vengeance. And the rain descended and the floods came and 
beat upon that house and it fell and great was the fall of it (Matt, vii, 27). 

Anarchists and Capital Punishment. 

I believe in short shift for men that want to overthrow law and order or 
that take the law in their own hands. Capital punishment is proper and 
should be the rule instead of the exception for murders. Some say of society, 
"Thou shalt not kill !" A man has a right to kill another in self-defense and 
murder is a crime against the life of society. Society should defend itself 
by taking the life of the murderer. Because the victim could not kill his 
assailant is no reason why he should be allowed to live ; it is the very reason 
why society should execute that murderer, who has forfeited his right to live. 
Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed (Gen. 9; 6). 
Those who want to abolish capital punishment are too maudlin for these 
shaky times. 

iLabor and the Money Power. 

The First National Bank of New York was founded in 1863 with a half 
a million capital. In thirty-nine years that bank raked in twenty-one millions 
dividends. In 1901 capital was raised from half a million to ten millions and 
in ten years it produced twenty-five millions dividends. That is robbery — 
nothing but robbery. Abraham Lincoln said: "Labor is prior to and inde- 
pendent to <:apital. Capital is only the fruit of labor and could never have 
existed if labor had not first existed. Labor is the superior of capital and 
deserves much higher consideration." Money of itself never increases. It 
is always some man's labor that brings the increase, adds to it. So interest 
is one man producing and another getting the increase. If a man has a 

39 



chance to make a big thing but needs more capital and goes to the bank, the 
chances are that the banker insists on such a big rake-off that the bank gets 
most of it, 10 to 120 per cent. That is the banking business. While the hell- 
born competitive system exists, money will be necessary. But that will not 
be long now. 

Wage-Slaves, Does This Man Think of Humanity or Dollars? 

The Morgan interests control 785,499 wage earners, so the U. S. In- 
dustrial Commission report, and cites facts and telegrams to prove it. 

Mr. Charles A. CoUman said: "When the Elder Morgan died, I wrote 
his four-page obituary in the Herald (N. Y.). In order to get that material 
I read about everything that had ever been written about Morgan; I ques- 
tioned his friends and associates and consulted my personal experiences with 
the bankers. When I completed that obituary I was struck by a most re- 
markable fact. Not once by a gratuitous and kindly act, in no incident of 
his long career had he displayed the slightest sympathy for his human kind. 

No wonder we in Wall Street were curious to learn the manner of man 
young Morgan should prove to be. I think the first revelation came to us as 
a shock. On February 21st of this year (1915) young Morgan testi- 
fied before the Industrial Relations Committee. Chairman Walsh asked him 
what he considered the proper length of a working day for his employees. 
"I haven't any opinion on that subject," replied young Morgan. "What do 
you regard as the proper income for unskilled workmen?" "There again I 
have no opinion." "Do you consider $10 a week sufficient to support a long- 
shoreman ?" "I don't know. If that is all that he can get and takes it, I 
suppose it is enough," and Mr. Morgan laughed. "At what age do you 
think children should go to work?" "I haven't any opinion." 

The spectators at the hearing began to regard the witness with curious 
interest. "How far do you think stockholders are responsible for labor con- 
ditions ?" "I don't think stockholders have any responsibility in that matter," 
was the reply. "How about directors?" "None at all." — From The Father- 
land. This is young Morgan's stand on labor. He is at the head of the 
Morgan interests, which own and control banks, corporations, steamship 
lines, steel and iron plants that employ 785,499 wage slaves. Do you think 
that kind of a man is working for humanity or dollars? It is the Morgan 
interests that in this country were largely responsible for this country's 
keeping this war going in the interests of British liberty and Wall Street. 

Socialism vs. Plutocracy 

The man on the railroad who is a socialist says he ought to have 
the same pay as the president of the road. Everybody ought to be 
paid the same. He believes that all men should be free and equal and 
proposes legislation to make it so. They might just as well propose 
to legislate to make the stars of heaven free and equal ; the stars 
would never stand for it, neither would human nature. The man 
who can only swing a pick cannot render the same service that the 
man who is capable of managing the affairs of that company of 
100,000 men, and it is a crazy idea that he should be paid the same. 

^ 40 



Yet that is socialism. The socialistic theory is that everything must 
belong to the government, and everybody be paid the same. That is 
simply one extreme, and plutocracy as demonstrated by the big cusses 
of Wall Street is the other extreme. Neither of which is a just nor 
safe foundation of civilization. 

To-day instead of giving all a chance to work and live we proceed 
to get the work of the world done by as few men as possible. That is 
business, you know. And it is also business to get as much of what 
those fellows produce as we can without doing any of the sweating 
ourselves. What the man produces is of more consequence than the 
man. Investigators at Johnstown, Pa., found that the babies of the 
workers who receive less than $10 a week died at the rate of 256 per 
1,000; while the babies of the workmen who received $25 a week, 
died at the lower rate of 84 per 1,000. And remember one-third of 
the adult workmen reported by the Immigration Commission earned 
less than $10 per week. Really we are not civilized yet. 

Socialistic Moonshine. 

Socialism is democracy gone hopelessly bughouse. This fine 
talk about the brotherhood of man sounds all right in a Sunday 
school. But there is no cohesive power in socialism. See how the 
socialistic brothers in Europe are at each other's throats. Socialists 
are blind leaders of blind and will take a header into the ditch of 
anarchy, and that will be the last you will ever hear of sociailsm. 
Human nature only learns by experience and will soon get the 
experience with a vengeance. Disintegration of the social fabric is 
inevitable and is near. Humanity has got to pass through an awful 
catastrophe before they will be willing to give up the love of money 
and the love of self as the foundation of civilization. But after the 
cataclysm humanity will see the need of turning from money. Then 
we can have justice. Then it will be safe for the lamb to lie down 
with the lion as Isaiah prophesied it yet will be. The lamb lies down 
with the lion now; but he is not visible; he is being assimilated. It 
will never be safe for the lamb to lie down with the lion until that 
lion loves the lamb so much that he will not eat him on sight as he 
does now. Then the world will be ruled by love. What a man pro- 
duces will be his. And when one man cannot produce an article, 
one or more men will co-operate and the man who is the most neces- 
sary in that combination will receive more than the one who cannot 
render so important a service. But that does not mean that he is to 
be like John D. or Andy and make a bountiful philanthropist of him- 
self. That is robbery. He gets more because his service deserves 
it and not because he can take it like a highwav robber, the way they 
get it to-day. 

Land will belong to the man that uses it and not to some one 
who has the earth fenced in and makes the poor pay rent for vex- 
ing the soil for livelihood. Every man must be of service to so- 
ciety or cultivate an appetite until he is willing to earn his bread by 
the sweat of his brow\ Be of service to his fellowman. When people 

41 



have more love they will not be given so to debauchery and lawless- 
ness and foolish frivolity as everywhere to-day. The products of 
labor shall belong to those who produce them and the price of any 
goods will be the cost of production and distribution and not what 
some robber wants to make off it as now. 

Any system, any privilege that enables a man to enrich himself 
from other men's labor or other men's pockets is an injustice. In 
the Panama Canal Zone labor checks were used instead of money. 
''When the guard or criterion of the transaction in the exchange of 
products comes to be regarded as the realty, of which it should be 
but the medium of transfer, it has usurped the place of genuine riches, 
and falling into the hands of the great gamblers of commerce, is made 
the power through which the distinction of castes are formulated and 
maintained. 

Nothing ought to be more apparent than the truth of the proposi- 
tion, that the purpose for which industry is applied is the acquisi- 
tion of the essentials, comforts, and luxuries of life. Gold and silver, 
as coin, do not comprise either of the above mentioned incentives to 
human activity. Place a body of men anywhere in the world where 
life demands shelter, fuel, clothing and food, which can only be ob- 
tained through direct industrial application, and they would never 
think of digging gold and silver and converting them to coin before 
applying their industry to the essential things. The industrial masses 
have been so over-burdened with the pressing wants of daily life 
that there has been no time to think upon the great questions of eco- 
nomics. They have scarcely dreamed that the distribution of the 
wealth of the country could be conducted without something to rep- 
resent the commercial exchanges of the world, hence an adherence 
to the so-called medium of exchange called money, founded (or pre- 
tended to be) upon gold as a standard of value, to wTiich they bear 
some proportionate ratio. 

Shall men who must starve or purchase bread with labor, first 
purchase gold of the plutocrat— at the price they can procure that 
for which they perform service? This is a question the laboring 
classes are asking themselves, and they are awakening to the answer. 
They are some so-called labor reformers who still persist in the 
attempt to improve upon the form and use of that which shall repre- 
sent exchanges. If the competitive system were admitted to be an 
essential factor of human activity and existence, we could agree that 
some medium of exchange ought to be employed. Under such cir- 
cumstances we certainly would advocate the use of that which would 
require the least expenditure of labor, as being the most economical 
representative. No medium of exchange is required. During the 
war, the Government fed and clothed hundreds of thousands of men 
by locating its places of storage, and providing for the distribution of 
all things essential for carrying on the war. A system of distribution 
could be as easily instituted, even more easily, for one hundred mil- 
lions of people than for one million. 

Social and political economy should provide for the direct, im- 
mediate, and cheapest methods of distributing the products of in- 

42 



dustry. One of the first things to be considered in the distribution 
of the products of industry to 100 millions of people, is economical 
transportation. The channels of transportation are the only legiti- 
mate mediums of exchange, and the only ones required. Barter, in 
the true system of social economy, cannot exist. The processes 
through which the race has progressed from its more savage to its 
present stage of barbarism, falsely called civilization, cannot be taken 
as an illustration of the introduction of the new order. The present 
great system competism is the natural outgrowth of the greed which 
actuate the animal,whether existing in the lower orders of animal life, 
or in the genus homo. 

Every medium of exchange, whether gold, silver, or paper, which 
may be manipulated by the shark to the detriment in barter of the 
honest and unsophisticated, should be destroyed. Money and the 
competitive system will go together. The old fabric will go. The 
barter system has never been, nor can it ever be, made a system of 
equitable distribution. So long as it is in vogue the effort to perform 
little service for much of the products for which service is rendered, 
will impulse the human mind to devise means to shirk the responsi- 
bilities of the performance of use, and to accumulate riches without 
rendering an equivalent. There must come a change! 

We are confronting the world''s catastrophe on the lines of com- 
petitism. The nations will be astounded at the suddenness with 
which it will culminate. Modern Christianity is a conglomeration of 
all the paganisms of the world and will suddenly crumble to the 
dust. The governments of the world, devoid as they are of every 
spark of divine prinicple — love to the neighbor, will find their se- 
pulchre in the valley of the decomposing carcass of a polluted and 
hypocritical church." — From "The Sign of the Lord's Coming." 

The man we needed in the White House during these perilous times 
is William Randolph Hearst. But it is too late now. The damage has been done. 

Germany with armed enemies all around her needed a big army. British 
navalism needs to be smashed worse than German militarism. British naval- 
ism is a standing menace to America and South America. England violated 
the Monroe Doctrine once on this continent and took an island for a naval 
base and has it fortified against us near the Panama Canal. Yet England 
objected to our fortifying the Panama Canal. Roosevelt was President, 
and it would not have been fortified if Hearst had not woke up Congress 
and the country about it and demanded that it be fortified. It was not 
Roosevelt that started that fight which resulted in the fortification of the 
Panama Canal. It was that loyal fighting American patriot, William Ran- 
dolph Hearst. With all the large daily papers he has in New York City, 
San Francisco, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles and Atlanta, Ga., the Ameri- 
can voters are such sapheads that they cannot see that Hearst has always 
worked for the best interests of the nation. In spite of his executive ability 
and how he has fought as a patriot and a statesman, Hearst cannot even be 
elected mayor of rotten New York City, modern Babylon. Because free 
America is ruled by Wall Street and plutocrats and boodlers and grafters 
and saloon keepers. And Hearst stands no more show in rotten American 

43 



politics than a snowball in blazes. Get back at them, Hearst, bv giving whisky 
hell. 

Dr. Crane, Here is Your Fair and Polite Jap. 

The Englishman, Mr. F. E. Smith, in his "International Law," says: 
"On November 21, 1894, the Japanese Army stormed Port Arthur, and for 
five days indulged in the promiscuous slaughter of non-combatants: men, 
M^omen and children, with every circumstance of barbarity." The London 
Times said: "Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday were spent by the 
soldiery in murder and pillage from daw^i to dark, in mutilation, in every 
conceivable kind of nameless atrocity, until the town became a ghastly in- 
ferno, to be remembered with a fearsome shudder until one's dying day." 
Now, Dr. Crane, come forward with your whitewash. 

Dr. Frank Crane says: "One of the favorite themes with troublemakers 
is the coming war with Japan. What they want is to be treated decently." 
What the swell-headed Japs want in this country, they do not and will not 
grant to foreigners in this country. They do not allow foreigners to hold 
land in Japan let alone the right to vote. Since Dr. Crane wrote his edi- 
torial it came to light that this administration expected Japan to start war 
on this country in 1913. It would not have been revealed when it w^as if one 
of the men from the Navy Department had not tried to run a bluff on 
Representative Hobson that there really was no danger of war with Japan. 
Hobson replied: "In May, 1913, and for several weeks thereafter our gun- 
ners at Corregidor Island stayed at their guns night and day. The harbors 
were mined. Troops w^ere sent there. Everything was prepared for a two 
year's siege. I have noticed other things from time to time. Well, the 
Secretary of the Navy is here. I will ask him, if what I have stated is not 
true, let him deny it." The Japs are a very polite nation. They even went 
to war with Russia wdthout declaring war, because they are so polite. Their 
profession of friendliness for this country is absolutely worthless. Until 
Japan ceases to be a menace to the open door and American interests in the 
Orient, such professions are hypocrisy. Since this war Japan has got a 
worse swelled head than ever. She is going to be the John Bull of the 
Pacific, and has begun to try it on China, which eventually will be to the 
detriment of American interests. 

The Coming Destruction. 

Before the Turk got into this war I said he would. And I sent word to 
the missionaries to warn the Armenians that the Turks w^ould soon be slaugh- 
tering them. This was months before Turkey had entered this war. And I said the 
war would end with the Turk still in Constantinople. And that later Russia 
would decide to boost the Turk, bag and baggage, and will get enough Greek 
help to do it. Germany will not interfere then. After the Turk is expelled, 
then begins the revolutions and anarchy in one nation after another. That 
time of revolutions makes it plain to the brown man that he can jump in 
while the white nations are disorganized and mow them down. This war 
of John Bull's on Germany has made all these revolutions and anarchy in- 
evitable. Remember the people will yet say now is peace and safety; then 
this destruction will be very near (i Thes. 5, 3; Joel 2; Mai. iv, 5). 

There will be such a time of revolutions as the world has never seen. 

44 



During our next administration Russia and Greece will expel the Turk 
(Daniel xl, 40-45) from Europe and Jew and Gentile in Palestine then want 
to get into the mountains. Then begins the revolutions and anarchy in one 
natton after another— "the time of great tribulation, such as was not since the 
beginning of the world to this time" (Matt. 24; Dan. 12. The wise understand 
the time). In less than 60 days after the Turk reaches Jerusalem and destroys 
it, there will not be a single' railroad of any importance in operation in the 
United States. Roosevelt is the man needed. 

The Leader Who Will Direct the Yellow Hordes. 

The leader who will hurl the yellow race at our civiHzation and sweep 
it away is already in Japan. When the revolutions begin he will take it in 
his head to be the biggest thing in the world, as bumptuous John Bull has 
long had it and is now trying to crush Germany for daring to be the more 
efficient in commerce. That Jap leader will see how easy he can set about 
his infernal job when the revolutions start after this war. 

"Asia is powerful and aggressive and could provide men in tens of 
millions indifferent to death, requiring only able leadership to make civil- 
ization, such as we know it, a thing of the past."— From Sunday editorial, 
N. Y. American, Jan. 2, 191 6. That leader is already in Japan. 

"Asia is four times the size of Europe and has every conceivable form 
of natural raw wealth. 

"The population of Europe is about 380,000,000. 

"The population of North and South America is about 150,000,000. 

"THE POPULATION OF ASIA IS 850,000,000. 

"THE YELLOW AND BROWN INHABITANTS OF ASIA OUT- 
NUMBER THE WHITE INHABITANTS OF EUROPE AND OF BOTH 
AMERICAS BY THE ENORMOUS TOTAL OF 320,000,000. 

"THE EXCESS OF YELLOW AND BROWN PEOPLE IN ASIA 
OVER WHITE PEOPLE IN EUROPE AND AMERICA IS MORE 
THAN TWICE THE TOTAL POPULATION OF NORTH AND SOUTH 
AMERICA, AND NEARLY EQUALS THE POPULATION OF EU- 
ROPE." — N. Y. American, October 21, 1915. 

Sir Ian Hamilton, in a speech on the coming struggle between the yellow 
and white races, said that the conflict would come on the Pacific coast, and a 
Japanese newspaper, the Nichi Nichi, replied that : "The Japanese must pre- 
pare to stand alone and face the white race in battle. The Japanese must 
inform other Asiatics of the fearful consequences of the prejudice and un- 
righteous attitude of the white man. Asia must cooperate with Japan for the 
common defense," The World's Work said: "When the Japanese soldiers 
won a battle against the Russians, bonfires were lighted upon the plains of 
India and in the mountains of Afghanistan, yellow nations celebrating the 
triumph of the yellow over the white. 

Fifty Millions Mowed Down in Europe by the Mongolian Invasion. 

Rev. Thomas B. Gregory said: "A black despair took hold of men's 
hearts, life's pleasures were forgotten, and its industries neglected. There 
was but one thing to think of — the appalling vision of the onsweeping de- 
stroyers 1 

45 



"The old annalists tell us that the Tartars were a fearful set to behold, 
with broad, flat, yellow faces, great distended nostrils, small snake-like eyes 
black as jet, short, thick legs, voices deep and hollow, which, in the act of 
yelling, sounded like the bellowing of bulls. And as the hordes of these 
monsters approached, we are informed, so loud was the grinding of the 
great wooden chariots, the bellowing of the buffaloes, the cries of the camels, 
the neighing of horses, and the ferocious chants of the Tartars that the 
people of the doomed cities could scarcely hear each other's voices. 

"And so the infernal hosts swept on, villages and cities disappearing 
before them like grass before the scythe. 

"Fortunately for civihzation, just as Europe, partially recovered from 
its fright, was about ready to throw itself across the path of the invaders, 
they suddensly turned about, recrossed the Dnieper into Russia and ceased 
to be a menace to the nations south of that stream. In Russia, however, 
they held on their power for more than two hundred years and were not 
fairly driven out until about 1550, over three centuries from the time they 
first struck the Czar's dominions. 

"The ringmaster and original inspirer of this Dance of Death, in which 
more than fifty millions of human beings were ruthlessly slain, was Jenghiz 
Khan, born in a tent on the banks of the Onau in 1162. It was said that he 
was born with a clot of blood in his clenched fist, and in blood he lived and 
died. Great in a sense, was Jenghiz, for, though by birth he was but the 
chief of a petty Mongolian tribe, he lived to see his armies victorious from 
the China Sea to the banks of the Danube. There were no 'Captains of 
Industry' in those days to exploit humanity; there were only 'Conquerors,' 
who murdered men outright with swords, clubs and spears, and among all 
the conquerors of history Jenghiz stands first. Compared with the con- 
scienceless, remorseless Mogul, Alexander, Caesar, Napoleon and the rest 
of the long list were weaklings and nobodies. Of all the scoundrels who 
from the beginning until now have 'waded through slaughter to throne,* 
Jenghiz Khan bears the palm alone. In his bloody renown he stands with- 
out a fellow and without a peer." 

What Will the Yellow Cataclysm Be Like? 

When the yellow millions are once fairly started on their infernal sweep 
of death and destruction they cannot turn back any more than the army 
worms can from a field of green oats. Everything behind is eaten and the 
worms must go forward. So it will be with the yellow race. Behind will 
be the abomination of desolation. To exist, eat, they must keep on with 
their fiendish devastation of life. The upheaval will be so sudden and un- 
expected that unless certain powerful influences are exerted, the yellow 
cataclysm will arrive before it is due. 

The American people are so blind and so deceived by lying John Bull 
that they have rushed ahead with this war and sealed the doom of our 
civilization. The fool tariff of a conceited college professor had put the 
country industrially and financially on the bum, so that when this war came 
there was a chance to better our desperate industrial condition and get back 
some of the hundreds of millions that the fool tariff had sent to Europe- 
better our condition by running ammunition factories. America, that claims 
to be the salvation of the world, helped destroy the white civilization by 

46 



feeding this hell in Europe. The white race has got to pay for this hell and 
the next unexpected thing is the revolution and anarchy here when the after- 
clap of the war hits us. 

"Hath this been in your days or the days of your father? a great people 
and strong; there hath not been the like (the yellow race) ; the land is as a 
garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yea, 
and nothing shall escape them. They shall run like mighty men; they shall 
climb the wall like men of war; and they shall march every one on his ways 
and they shall not break ranks: neither shall one thrust another, they shall 
walk every one in his path: and when they fall upon the sword, they shall 
not be wounded. They shall run to and fro in the city; they shall climb up 
upon the wall, they shall climb up upon the houses; they shall enter in at the 
windows like a thief." — From Joel. "And the kings of the earth, and the 
great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, 
and every bondman, and every freeman, hid themselves in the dens and in 
the rocks of the mountains." — Rev. vi, 15. 

William Randolph Hearst says: "The nations of Europe must already 
have reached a point where they realize, more than they possibly could have 
realized before the event, the extent of the destruction and disaster which 
they are inflicting and inviting. Europe is committing hari-kari on the door- 
steps of Asia. ... 

You big deceivers ought to see that our civilization will go to pieces and 
then the leader of the yellow and brown races will see that artillery is not 
needed — only spears and a few rifles to mow down the disorganized white 
race. The American people are fools to imagine that the devil does not 
rule here in America. Devil means deceiver. But the sapheads imagine 
they are not deceived. Events will disillusionize them allright. Oh ! America 
is so rich. They that trust in riches (Prov. xi, 4, 28) and armies (Isaiah 
xxxiv, 2) shall fall in the day of divine wrath. The wise understand the times, 
(Dan. xii, 9, 10). Children of light, ye are not in the dark that the day of 
wrath and destruction should overtake you as thief (i Thes. 5). 

FactsjProve Russia Was To Back Up Serbia 

To Start Hell; France Was to Back Up Russia, and England Was 
to Back Up France for This War, You Howling Liars ; 
Belgium Plotted With England and France 
Against Germany. 

Would You Expect Tammany Hall to Send Up One of Their Mem- 
bers for Grafting? No, They Would Get Out the Whitewash 

Would you expect a gang of assassins to hang themselves for 
a murder? That is just the kind of a rotten deal that Russia tried to 
force upon Austria after Serbia had carried on an agitation against 
Austria in Austrian territory, which resulted in the assassination of 
the Archduke. Russia that, when the Chinese boat was sinking and 
the Chinese women pitched their babies ashore .to keep them from 
drowning, the Russians caught the babies on their bayonets and cut 
them to pieces. This was when Russia in cold blood massacred the 
whole Chinese population of Blagovestchenk in 1900. Nothing worse 

47 



than this massacre lias been done by the iinspeakal^le Turk is what 
F. E. Smith, a British writer on International law, said. Russia, that 
m Persia : "I have seen photographs of the mangled disemboweled 
bodies of Persians as they hung head downward in the public streets 
We (the British), the guarantors of Persian liberties, stood bv on 
that occasion. Our duty was not to our interest," says an English 
man Clifford Allen, in a speech in England. After the heartless 
fiendish atrocities the Russians committed in Persia, when they 
strangled freedom there and boosted Mr. Schuster out— they have a 
record of barbarous assassinations and atrocities for centuries and 
of course you ought to be convinced that the Russians are interested 
in Serbia just because the brutes are all at once so tenderhearted and 
humane. No one but a saphead American would imagine that Russia 
would go to war to protect the assassins in Serbia, because Russia 
wants justice done to Serbia. That is just what Russia did not want 
the assassins to get, and no effort whatever was made by Serbia to 
punish the men who plotted that assassination. It was time for 
Austria to take action and see that the Serbians were forced to do 
something. But barbarous Russia, England's pal, butts in, and I will 
show you what for further on. Russia mobilized for war before 
Austria mobilized, or had even declared war on Serbia and without 
waiting until the Czar's proposition to arbitrate had reached Austria 
It was just like a fellow that would reach for his gun and then say 
I will arbitrate with you, but keeps right on drawing his gun These 
are the facts about Russia in spite of what the lying pro-British here 
tell 3^ou about the Czar's sham offer to arbitrate. Russia from the 
very first was determined on war. September, 1914, the famous 
Aniencan lecturer and traveler, John L. Stoddard, was in Europe and 
said: Two years ago a prominent Russian official said to me- Tn 
1915 you will see great things. Russia has recuperated from the 
Japanese war, and is burning to recover her lost prestige The Rus- 
sian war party cannot be restrained. You will soon see the Teutons' 
land inundated by the Slavic flood.' " Russia was back of the Serbian 
agitation m Austria which caused the assassination. "Three dift"erent 
attempts were made on the part of the assassins, at separate places 
withm a short period of time." After almost a month passed and noth- 
ing was done by Serbia to harm those who plotted that murder. They 
celebrated it. Russia mobilized without waiting to see if Austria 
was going to mobilize or declare war on Serbia. 

Professor Herbert Sanborn, of Vanderbilt University savs • ''So 
early as March, 1914, Russia was plainly contemplating immediate 
aggressive action toward the West. On March 12, in addition to the 
extremely large regular appropriation of $250,000,000 for the army 
extraordinary military estimates of $60,000,000, an increase of 30 per 
cent, over 1913, were submitted to the Duma: in addition to this a 
loan of $400,000,000 (2,000,000,000 francs) was secured from the 
hrench Government to build strategic railways designed to facilitate 
the concentration of troops on the European and Caucasus frontiers 
According to the Paris Journal des Dehats this money was lent by 

48 



France on the express condition that Russia 'should render fuller 
ser\dce to the alliance and should take up a firmer attitude toward 
Germany.' " 

The Czar asked the Kaiser to mediate between Austria and Serbia, 
and while the Kaiser was working for peace, the Czar mobilized for 
war, and he got it. Some assert that Austria unjustly annexed Bosnia- 
Herzegovina. But they alw^a^^s disregard the real situation which 
justified Austria. It is explained in ''The European War of 1914; Its 
Causes, Purposes and Probable Results," by John AVilliam Burgess, 
Ph.D., J.U.D., LL.D., of A. C. McClurg & Co., Chicago, $1 ; also the 
pamphlet, "England on the Witness Stand," 15c. of The Fatherland^ 
1123 Broadway, New York. Prominent men in England have put the 
blame for this war upon the allies, and these quotations on Serbia and 
Russia are from their pamphlet : ''England on the Witness Stand." 
It gives a quotation from "The Origins of the Great War," by H. H. 
Brailsford (British publication). 

The Treacherous Serbs 

"I remember at the close of the Balkan AVar in May, 1913, a 
yelling pack of Montenegrins at the parcel post office bawling, 'We, 
the Serb people, have beaten the Turk. We are a Power. We shall 
set Europe on fire.' They claimed that they had all got Russia sup- 
porting them, and stated repeatedly that they would begin in Bosnia." 
This was repeated to Miss Durham by army officers, diplomatists and 
others who knew what was going on. The Austrian Consul was mal- 
treated at Prizren so grossly that the secretary to General Vukotitch 
stated : "The foulest insults were levelled at him and the flag. . . . 
Austria dares not tell or she w^ould be laughed at by all Europe and 
forced to declare war." When " that did not produce the desired 
quarrel, the Orthodox Catholics, of whom Austria is the guardian, 
were told that they would either have to abjure their faith or sufTer 
death. The threats were carried out. Austria intervened, and 
sounded friendly States regarding an ultimatum to Servia. This is 
the "revelation" made in the Italian Chamber on the 7th of December, 
1914, which has been palmed off on a public that does not follow for- 
eign affairs, as something terribly sinister and as a complete proof 
that Austria had meant war for some years. Inquiry was forced upon 
the culprit State, the facts were proven and apologies had to be given. 
The powder again did not go off. The next time more care was taken. 
The heir to the Austrian throne was assassinated at Sarajero owing 
to a plot in which Servian officers were implicated and by bombs pre- 
pared in the Servian Government arsenal." 

Serbs Make a Promise to Be Good Only to Break It 

On March 31st, 1909, Servia made the following declaration to the 
Austrian Government : "Servia declares that she is not affected in her 
rights by the situation established in Bosnia, and that she will there- 
fore adapt herself to the decisions which the Powers are going to 
arrive at. . . . By following the counsels of the Powers, Servia binds 

49 



herself to cease the attitude of protest and resistance which she has 
assumed since last October, relative to the annexation, and she binds 
herself further to change the direction of her present policy toward 
Austria-Hungary, and in the future to live with the latter in friendly 
and neighborly relations." ("Why we are at War," p. 144.) The 
charge brought against the Servian Government by Austria has been 
that that solemn undertaking was not adhered to in any way. 

What Mexico is to the United States, Serbia is to Austria- 
Hungary. Suppose the United States should brace up and give the 
greasers to understand that they had to punish those who kill Ameri- 
cans and had to be good, and because there is Latin blood in those 
bandits, Spain would say to America, you shall not be allowed to 
punish the Mexicans — a big country like you jumping on Mexico. 
You can arbitrate 3^our trouble with Mexico at the Hague. Uncle 
Sam would say just what Austria said: This is not a case of elocu- 
tion ; it is a case of execution. The Servians repeatedly acknowledged 
their cussedness against Austria, only to go and do worse. Serbian 
officials and teachers were at the head of societies which kept up an 
agitation to bring on revolution in Austria-Hungary. The Serbian 
press united in such treachery. For Austria to resent such agitation 
always offended the Czar and brought Austria on the verge of war 
with Russian in 1913. This proves that Russia was back of the Serbs 
in their deviltry, as the Serbs themselves boasted. It was not a case 
of arbitration, but of execution. Liberty with the Serbs means 
assassination, as their bloody record after the Balkan war with Turkey 
demonstrated. The International Commission on the atrocities in 
the Balkan war reported the Serbs as the worst offenders. 

A Sample of the Way the Lying Papers Here Deceive the People 
"Former Assassin Becomes Aged Angel" 

"King Peter of Serbia is fast becoming a sentimentally pathetic 
figure of fallen goodness, under the deft manipulation of part of the 
press. Yet, unless memory is at fault, this is the same Peter who 
obtained his throne a few years ago through the cruel and detestable 
double assassination of his predecessor and the woman who shared 
his palace. And, unless memory is again at fault, this is the same 
King Peter whom the United States and several other civilized 
nations were brought with difficulty to recognize at all as sovereign 
to whom decent States could send Ministers. 

"And, unless memory is again at fault, no protest against the rec- 
ognition of this accomplice and beneficiary of the savage murder of 
his predecessor was so strong and so indignant as the protest which 
found loud voice in the London press. 

"It is hard to avoid grinning these days over the agility with 
which so many staid and solemn journals turn the most surprising 
somersaults. Consider, for example, the case of aged King Peter: 
A few years ago he was a callous assassin. Now he is a heroic figure, 
whose pathetic fate moves all civilization to tears. Yes, it is hard not 
to grin." — N. Y. American, December 30, 1915.

"Serbs Are a Nation of Soldiers and Poets?" 

Mrs. Pankhurst said with such rapture and hot air that the Serbs 
are "soldiers and poets." Here is a description of the Serbian soldiers 
by Douglass M. Dold, of Astoria, Long Island, who, with his brother, 
was in charge of an automobile relief squad to aid the Serbians: 
"Douglass was stricken partly blind by hardships, overwork and 
privations. On this account the brothers returned to their home 
December 24, 1915. Douglass had the honor of surrendering the 
City of Nish to the Bulgarians. When the great Bulgarian and Ger- 
man drive began through Serbia, the civil population began to flee. 
There was panic, disorder and confusion everywhere. While every- 
body had become accustomed to the sound of cannonading, it was 
when the Serbian troops began falling back through Nish in scattered 
detachments that the population began to realize the invaders were 
at hand. 

"Then, Douglass said, a Serbian regiment known as the Twen- 
tieth Puhk killed their Colonel and swooped down on Nish and began 
to loot the place. Douglass attempted to protect the hospital stores 
which were placed in his charge. He was knocked down and beaten 
by the soldiers who wasted the stores of alcohol and quinine. They 
also got away with 2,400 pairs of shoes. 

"After this regiment left the remnant of the population appealed 
to the Bishop of Nish to induce Douglass to surrender the city to the 
invading Bulgarians and ask for protection. 

"When the Bulgarians were within a short distance of the city, 
accompanied by the Bishop and a throng of young women bearing 
garlands of flowers, Douglass says he started out to meet the invaders. 

"A big white flag was waved in front of the two men, when an 
officer of the invading Bulgarians rode forward, and was addressed 
first by the Bishop, who made frequent references to Douglass. 

" 'The Bishop said he was afraid the Bulgarians would cut all of 
their throats,' said Douglass last evening, 'and as I was an American 
with an American passport he wanted me to surrender the city and 
ask for protection. In his speech the Bishop kept saying I was there 
as an American to give them protection.' . . . 

"I showed my passport and asked for protection of the city and 
the people. I also asked him to protect the hospital stores that were 
left from the looting Serbians. . . . 

"There were twenty-five automobiles in our squad when we left 
America, June 25. 

"We were hampered by untold red tape in Serbia, and I can tes- 
tify the Serbians are born joy riders. They never missed a chance to 
requisition a car for a little jaunt." — New York American, December 
25, 1915. 

The Serbs are treacherous birds and deserve what they got. 

Russia Was Determined to Have War 

Russia, that is always committing assassination by the wholesale, on 
July 24th said Servia shall not be humiliated. The next day, the 25th, before 

51 



any other country had mobilized, Russia decided on partial mobilization. This 
is shown by the note to Germany, July 30th, stating that the "military meas- 
ures now coming into operation were decided upon 5 days ago." The next 
day, 26th, two days before Austria declared war on Servia, Russia stated in 
a telegram to Italy that the conflict cannot be localized, that is between Aus- 
tria and Servia (see Russian Orange Book, Manchester Guardian, Sep- 
tember 10, 1914). Russia said the conflict, war cannot be localized. Austria 
had not yet declared war on Servia and had only begun to mobilize the day 
that Russia telegraphed to Italy that the conflict cannot be localized. Russia 
was backing up Servia, and she knew that would bring war between Austria 
and Servia, and Russia was determined to get into it. That is why Russia 
said two days before there was war that the conflict, war cannot be localized. 

Why the Proposed Mediation Failed 

"The proposal of mediation made by Sir Edward Grey on July 29th sug- 
gested: Austria-Hungary should undertake, after the occupation of Belgrade 
and the Servian territory at the border, not to advance further, while the 
powers would try to bring it about that Servia should give to Austria-Hun- 
gary a satisfaction adequate for that monarchy. The territory occupied by 
the Austro-Hungarian Army should be evacuated again after the satisfaction 
had been rendered. Sir Edward Grey conveyed this proposal on July 30th 
to the English Ambassador at St. Petersburg, and added: 

I suggested this yesterday as a possible relief to the situation, and if 
it can be obtained I would earnestly hope that it might be agreed to suspend 
further miHtary preparations on all sides. ('Blue Book,' No. 103.) 

This proposal was transmitted and recommended by Germany to the 
Austro-Hungarian Government; similarly by the English and French Am- 
bassadors to the Russian Government (Yellow Book, No. 112). The pro- 
posal was not yet answered by Austria, and Russia, too, had not yet taken 
any attitude concerning it, when the general Russian mobilization ensued. 
The assertion that the Russian general mobilization had been made necessary 
because Austria-Hungary declined all intervention by the powers (Blue 
Book, No. 113), is thus in strict contradiction to the state of affairs as 
pictured in the English and French documents." — From "Germany's Case in 
the Supreme Court of Civilization." 

The day after Sir Edward Grey made this proposal of mediation by a 
conference of the powers, he threatened to resign unless England backed up 
France and Russia in war on Germany. His proposal of mediation was a 
sham. He did not make public that he threatened to resign unless he got 
war. "This sinister liar, Grey," "Presently they will send him to the gal- 
lows," is what a famous professor in Oxford University, Dr. F. C. Cony- 
beare, wrote to a friend here in America. His letter is published in "Eng- 
land on the Witness Stand," of the Fatherland, New York, 15 cents. 

How Grey Managed it to Make Sure Hell Would Be Raised in 

Belgium. 

The British Cabinet wanted Belgian neutrality respected and 
they wanted to keep out of war with Germany. Germany agreed to 
not invade Belgium if England would keep out of the war, which 

52 



were just the two things the Cabinet wanted. And Grey knew that 
the Cabinet would jump at the offer and then the neutrality of Bel- 
frium would be guaranteed. Because the Cabinet and the English 
people did not want war with Germany. So unless Belgium was to 
be invaded, Grey could not get England to go to war with Germany. 
Yet Grey had already threatened to resign unless England would 
support France in war against Germany over Servia. So Grey kept 
Germany's offer to guarantee the neutrality and independence of Bel- 
gium if England would remain neutral — Grey kept this offer from the 
Cabinet and from the House of Commons so that the neutrality of 
Belgium could not be guaranteed and that they would believe that 
nothing could be done with Germany to save Belgium. Then, in 
order to insure that Belgium would be invaded, Grey made it plain to 
Germany that England would not agree to remain neutral under 
any circumstances, even though Germany respected Belgian neutral- 
ity. Grey informed the German Ambassador on July 29th that: 
"Russia cannot 'be expected to allow Austria to humiliate Servia." 
(White Paper, 88 and 89.) This showed that Grey was with Russia 
and he stated on the 26th that ''if war were to break out in Europe no 
nation could take a detached attitude." Sapheads, this meant that if 
war broke out in Europe, England would get into it. That is they 
were all going at Germany. 

Germany offered to indemnify Belgium for peaceable passage 
through to France. But England would not allow that. Ou August 
4th Grey telegraphed the British Minister at Brussels: "You should 
inform Belgian Government that if pressure is applied to them by 
Germany to induce them to depart from neutrality, His Majesty's 
Government expect that they will resist by any means in their power." 
(Ibid., Document 155, p. 108.) "It was a terribly selfish act to press 
that advice upon Belgium, when no substantial assistance, in the mili- 
tary sense, could be rendered to save Belgian territories from devas- 
tation." 

Grey would not allow the Belgians to let the Germans pay toll 
and pass peaceably through; but His Majesty, the British Stiff, ex- 
pects you Belgians to invite destruction by resisting the Germans. 
Grey wanted the Belgians to resist the Germans so there would be 
hell in Belgium and thus turn the world against Germany. See how 
John Bull would not allow Antwerp to surrender without resistance 
so as to cause all the havoc possible there. The King of Belgium had 
prepared to resist the Germans, but he felt that if there was a way 
out of that he would rather be excused. So August 4th he tele- 
graphed Grey: *T make a supreme appeal to the diplomatic inter- 
vention of your Majesty's Government to safeguard the integrity of 
Belgium" (Ibid. p. 153). He asked Grey to diplomatic intervene and 
save Belgium. By remaining neutral Grey could have saved Bel- 
gium. He did just the opposite and forced the Belgians to invite 
destruction by resisting the Germans. They had to resist, too, or 
the British navy would have turned loose on Belgium. If the neu- 
trality of Belgium were all that England and Grey wanted he would 

53 



have agreed to remain neutral and thus Belgium would not have 
been invaded. If England had agreed to have kept out of it, then 
France v^ould not have v\^anted the German navy coming around at 
her coast and she w^ould have suddenly found a good excuse to keep 
the peace. France did not want to go into it without the support 
of England, as is proved by the telegram that Grey sent, July 30, 1914, 
to the English Ambassador (see page 45) in Paris: "The French 
Ambassador in London reminded me to-day of the letter I had writ- 
ten him two years ago, in which we agreed that if the peace of 
Europe was seriously threatened we would discuss what we were 
prepared to do." That day Grey threatened to resign unless Eng- 
land would support France in war on Germany over Servia. If Eng- 
land had kept out, France could not have been coaxed to have gone 
to war. Then that barbarous brute, the Russian bear that walks like 
a man, would not have wanted to commit suicide by trying to eat 
all the Germans that would have called on him. There would have 
been no war if England had not backed up France. But piling up the 
debts and taxes as they are in England, it will be only a short time 
after this war ends until England will have trouble enough, and then 
will be done unto England's navy and commerce what she did to 
ours during our internal troubles. Retribution good and plenty is not 
far away for diabolical John Bull, and no pirate deserves it more than 
he. Sir Edward Grey deserves a rope around his neck, 

A Member of Parliament, J. Ramsay MacDonald, said : "It is in- 
teresting to gather from Sir Edward Grey's speech of August 3d 
and the White Paper how completely the Entente entangled him. 
There were first of all the "conversations" between French and 
British naval and army experts from 1906 onward. These produced 
plans of naval and military operations which France and we were to 
take jointly together. It was in accordance with these schemes that 
the northern coasts of France were left unprotected by the French 
navy. When Sir Edward Grey evoked our sympathy on the ground 
that the French northern coasts were unprotected, he did not tell us 
that he had agreed that they should be unprotected and that the 
French fleet should be concentrated in the Mediterranean." 

Grey's Secret Agreements With France. 

An extract from a letter by E. D. Morel, an Englishman, to the 
Executive of the Birkenhead Liberal Association, England, which 
appeared in the Birkenhead Nezvs and in the Birkenhead Advertiser 
of October 14, 1914. 

"On August 3rd last, 1914, when the tramp of armed legions had 
begun to shake the plains of Europe, the Foreign Secretary revealed 
to the House of Commons, amid shouts of approval from the Tory 
benches, that he had contracted liabilities toward France as far back 
as 1906; that they had been renewed on divers occasions since, and 
that the final seal had been placed upon them on the previous day, 
August 2nd. These liabilities had taken the form of (a) authorizing 
a plan of military operations on the Continent of Europe between the 

, _ . 54 



British and French General Staffs, (b) authorizing an arrangement 
between the Admiralty and the French Naval authorities involving a 
strategic disposition of the French fleet favorably affecting our naval 
position in the Mediterranean, but leaving the French northern and 
western coastline undefended, (c) undertaking to attack the German 
fleet if the German fleet made a descent upon the French coasts or in- 
terfered with French shipping. 

''It came, therefore, to this. While negative assurances were 
given to the House of Commons, positive acts diametrically opposed 
to these assurances had been concerted by the War Oflice and the 
Admiralty with the authority of the Foreign Oflice. All the obliga- 
tions of an open alliance had been incurred, but incurred by the most 
dangerous and subtle of methods; incurred in such a way as to leave 
the Cabinet free to deny the existence of any formal parchment re- 
cording them, and free to represent its policy at home and abroad as 
one of contractual detachment from the rival Continental groups. 

"What Is Wrong With Civilization?" 

contains the official papers which undeniably prove the following state- 
ments : 

The Kaiser tried to get a peaceable settlement between Austria- 
Hungary and Serbia, and finally Austria agreed to discuss the mat- 
ter with Russia. But the Czar forged ahead with his mobilization. 
The Kaiser tried to persuade him to stop, so that there would be no 
w^ar. Now you liars, if the Czar had stopped mobilization, then how 
would the Kaiser have got war? The Kaiser tried to effect a peace- 
able settlement between Austria and Serbia, and he tried to persuade 
the Czar to not mobilize ; he asked France to keep out ; he asked 
England to keep out, and agreed to not invade Belgium if England 
would keep out; after the Kaiser tried to persuade Russia to not 
mobilize, you liars accuse the Kaiser of causing the war. It would 
not be any more of a lie for you to accuse him of plotting the as- 
sassination of the Austrian Crown Prince to bring on this war. The 
Kaiser saw that after the way England backed up France to the 
verge of war in 191 1, and the way Russia was building military roads 
toward Germany, and the French navy was in the Mediterranean 
Sea, and France was increasing her army 50 per cent., that war was 
coming in spite of all he could do. And like a sensible man he got 
good and ready for it. The allies wanted war and they have got it, 
too, and I am sorry when any one spoils for war so, as John Bull 
did, that he has not got it worse. John Bull looked out for his own 
hide all right. Made sure that the navy could keep the Germans 
from his "tight little isle," and then backed up the other nations to 
go at it, and forced little Belgium to stand up between him and the 
Germans. The yellow race wall yet land in England without any 
trouble, easier than England and her big navy could land here. 
Anarchy is what will let the yellow race into England. The British, 
the way that they have always treated every other nation, I have not 
the least bit of sympathy for them, because of the downfall that 

S5 



they are to have for tearing down civilization. Pride always goes 
before a fall. It did down south before the rebels parted with their 
slaves. It did with old Pharaoh, and will be the same with Wall 
Street and John Bull. 

In Paris the French Murdered Germans Before War Was Declared 

Henry M. Ziegler, a millionaire of Cincinnati, was in Paris and 
said: "It will never be known how many Germans were killed in 
Paris during the three-day riot of July 30, 31 and August 1. The 
crimes of that period, could they but become known, would shame 
the civilized world." Then he told what he saw. 

The London Times says that it must be remembered that the 
majority of the American people have only the haziest idea of the 
menaces of European politics. The American people know about as 
much about European politics and diplomacy as a parrot does about 
algebra. People think that because Germany took Alsace-Lorraine 
from France in 1871, that France should have it back when Germany 
simply recovered what France had stolen from her. They are not 
posted in history farther enough back. 

Prior to 1870 there is more history of France and her 400 years' 
treatment of Germany contained in the letter of that famous his- 
torian, Thomas Carlyle, to the London Times than nine out of ten 
Americans know about France before the Franco-German war. 

Cuss the Kaiser, You Liars. 

Blundering John Bull could not compete with the scientific and 
efficient German, and his rotten civilization founded upon glorious 
British liberty was tottering; revengeful France was sore because 
she got the smashing she deserved in 1871, and had to cough up 
what she had stolen, Alsace-Loraine ; barbarous Russia, the graveyard 
of small nations, has fought many wars to get a water outlet on 
the south, and that is why the Czar backed up dare-devil Serbia to 
start this war. And that treacherous Belgian Government plotted 
with England about this war and years ago prepared for this war 
by fortifying next to Germany. Even in British Parliament they 
years before this war began suspected that Grey was plotting with 
France for war on Germany and repeatedly questioned Grey if there 
was not a secret agreement to send men to fight with France against 
some other nation. But the sapheads here know nothing about the 
deep-laid plots of Sir Edward Grey even after he has confessed. 

You big crooks and measly liars well know that England and 
France and Russia planned long before 191 1 to sometime go to war 
with Germany. You well know that Grey has acknowledged that 
England and France planned to go to war with Germany before 
Belgium w^as invaded and whether Belgium was invaded or not. 
That is all explained in this book for the benefit of the sapheads 
that are so crazy about this war and the dollars they can make out 
of it. You crooks and liars know all about this infernal assassina- 
tion plot of John Bull's and you go ahead and help that insolent, ruth- 

56 



less, rapacious pirate in a war that now has made it inevitable that 
the white man's civilization will go to pieces. Then the yellow race 
will only need bayonets and spears to destroy the white race. The 
simpler the plan the more effective it will be. This nation has acted 
like it was crazy drunk, rushed right along feeding this hell in 
Europe, decimating, pauperizing and burdening Europe with such 
debts that has made sure the swift destruction of the white race. 
But the revolutions have got to start before you fools can see any- 
thing ominous and the yellow hordes have got to come at you with 
bayonets before you will believe there is any danger. Stupid hu- 
manity will get the convincing of their lives before another four 
years roll around. These are the days of the unexpected, of discon- 
tent and sudden unheavals. If you feel like cussing me go butt your 
fool heads against the Flatiron Building; I tried to stir you up by 
writing "A New Argument for Peace" in September, 1914. Do not 
blame me for your being a fool. Go out to your back-doors and take 
a good kick at yourselves. 

Cuss the Kaiser, you pro-British maniacs. I prove to you that 
Grey has confessed that since 1906 England plotted with France for 
war on Germany. I prove to you that France plotted with Russia 
for war on Germany. I prove to you that Russia was back of Serbia 
and Serbia was to start the scrap. Yes, the Czar said settle this trou- 
ble between Austria and Serbia at the Hague. But the Czar kept 
right on mobilizing after Austria offered to arbitrate. If you mortal 
enemy said to you: "O, I will arbitrate this trouble with you," but 
your enemy kept right on pulling his gun, you would tumble to it 
ihat his offer to arbitrate was a damned sham to get you. That is 
the Czar's kind of offer to arbitrate down at the Hague that the Allies 
tell you so much about. That is the sham offer the Czar asked the 
Kaiser to accept while he was pulling his gun, mobilizing. The 
Russian brute and liar was simply sparring for time to fully mobilize. 
Germany notified the brute to stop mobilizing in twelve hours or 
there would be war. The Czar forged right ahead for war and he 
got it. He went right ahead when he knew that it meant war with 
Germany. 

Do you think that he would butt into war with Germany with 
no one to help? Are you so stupid as to believe that the Czar would 
forge ahead when the Kaiser notified him that unless he stopped in 
twelve hours there would be war? Are you so blind as to believe 
the Czar would ram ahead into war with Germany unless France 
was to chip in? And are you so stupid as to imagine that the French 
would go to war with Germany when the French Navy was in the 
Mediterranean Sea and the German Navy could come at the unpro- 
tected coast of France? Are you such a fool as to imagine that 
France would go to war with Germany unless England was to pro- 
tect the French coast? Churchill was connected with the British 
Navy and has boasted that the British Navy had been for five years 
preparing for war with Germany. Yet lying John Bull gets off that 
old gag that he was not prepared. Before there was any war Grey 
threatened to resign (July 30th) unless England would back up 

57 



France and Russia in this war. Yet that very day he made public a 
proposal for arbitration between Austria and Serbia; but he did not 
make public his threat to resign unless England went to war with 
Gerrnany just because France and Russia were intending to. All 
this is proved from official papers that you liars cannot deny. Pub- 
lically Grey was hypocritically shamming for peace ; but officially he 
was diabolically trying his best to force war. You get the proof and 
particulars farther on, you sapheads. Yet the British get off that 
gag that they were not prepared for the war to make you fools imag- 
me they did not want this war, when their prominent officials had 
been plotting for this war for years. That British preacher, Rev. Dr. 
R. J. Campbell, said in the N. Y. American, December 20, 1915, that: 
"Sir Edward Grey was an efficient cause of the terrible fact that we 
are at war to-day, that tens of thousands of our sons and brothers 
have been slain and hundreds of thousands maimed for life, that mul- 
titudes of homes have been plunged into mourning." 

It was made clear to Germany in 191 1 by the way England, to 
the verge of war, backed up France in breaking that treaty, The Act 
of Algeciras, signed by France and Germany in 1909, that war with 
England and France was inevitable. Then England agreed to pro- 
tect the French coast with the British Navy and the French Navy 
was sent into the Mediterranean. France discussed a 50 per cent, in- 
crease in her army and Russia was rushing her military plans and 
loans and military roads. Even in the British Parliament they sus- 
pected England was to back up France in war on Germany and repeat- 
edly questioned Grey about it. Germany saw that it was going to 
be a case of fight and very wisely got a double shuffle on her prepara- 
tions for war. 

Wonder How Many More Nations John Bull Thinks He Should 

Have Had Lined Up to Make War on Germany in Order to 

Have Been Prepared for This War? 

Last spring John Bull boasted that he was going to take Con- 
stantinople by Easter. John Bull is always blowing off through his 
hat. You all remember how they talked of the way Russia was going 
to roll right over on top of Germany like an army of steam rollers. 
Yes, soon after this war started the British in London bet that they 
would have Germany whipped in three months. They never expected 
Germany to make the Russian steam rollers run backwards instead 
of forward. They were not expecting Germany to put it over the 
Russians so easy. They were expecting the big Russian bear to just 
eat Germany. Instead of that, Germany took some big chunks out 
of Russia. England was not prepared for such unexpected turns of 
the war. England plotted for years to get this war, but it has not 
gone the way John Bull and his pal, the Russian bear, planned. 

No, the British were not prepared for that campaign against 
Constantinople and the Dardanelles, the way it turned out. John Bull 
barked up the wrong tree at a sick man, and the sick fellow came 
down the tree and accommodated him and bumptious John had to 
beat It. Every time John Bull blunders and gets a fresh blister 

58 



raised on his bumptiousness, he rolls up his eyes and says, "I was not 
prepared." No, they were not prepared for the German siege guns 
to lift the forts into the air. 

Dig Up for the War Sufferers. 

Dig up for the German war sufferers and not the blood-thirsty 
French nor the English. The American ammunition is not killing 
them. 

"Idiotic Yankees," dig up for the sufferers of this war which John 
Bull got. The London Times said : "Papen more idiotic than the 
idiotic Yankees." Not long before this Avar the British hotelkeepers 
said they would rather have the Germans to patronize them than 
Americans. English, like the rest of Europe, have no use for Amer- 
icans except their money. Irwin Cobb is pro-British in this war; yet 
you can read his book, "Europe Revised," and see just what the 
British think of Americans, and then despise them after they do get 
tips out of them. See how they despise us by the kind of characters 
they put on the stage to represent Americans. Yet "Europe Revised" 
is a very entertaining book ; published by George H. Doran Co., New 
York. The American people are easily jollied up and soft-soaped by 
the French and British. England has for her ally our enemy, Japan. 
That is how much of a friend that British government is to us. 

How Mr. Hearst Worked to End this War. 

President Wilson, why have you allowed so many months to 
pass without trying to stop this war as Mr. Hearst urged? 

"Good people, this is an awful war. It is the insanity of wick- 
edness. The very rulers and ministers who among them began it, 
are lying to God and to men in the effort to escape the obloquy and 
the guilt of their dreadful deeds. It is a senseless war, from which 
humanity has nothing to hope, a war of national, racial and dynastic 
jealousies and antipathies, a war of greed and rapine. Beginning in 
folly and stupidity, it has degenerated into a universal madness of 
destruction, that threatens to topple our civilization to its fall and 
ruin. Citizens, we owe it to God, to mankind and to ourselves to try, 
at least, to stop this war. And, citizens, we are false to our duty to 
God, to mankind and to ourselves if, instead of trying to stop this 
war, we most wickedly provide the means of prolonging it. Every 
dollar of profits earned by supplying the weapons and the money to 
prolong this war is a wicked dollar, an accursed dollar, stained, in the 
sight of God and in the eyes of all right-thinking men and women, 
with the blood and tears of suffering humanity. 

"Americans, we cannot afford to have our country enriched with 
such money as that. It is the price of innocent blood, the wages of 
humanity's betrayal, abhorrent to every sentiment of manly and good 
American hearts. Better were it for our peace, our honor and our 
welfare now and in time to come, that we sank the gold ten times 
over in the depths of the sea, rather than to sell Europe's peoples to 

59 



suffering and despair and death for wicked blood-money. As we 
have only indignation for those Americans who would prolong this 
war, so we have only contempt for those Americans who insist that 
we can do nothing to stop this war. Even if Ave should not succeed 
in stopping this war, we can at least TRY TO STOP IT. We think 
this war can be stopped. We believe that the President of the United 
States, with Congress of the United States to help and the unanimous 
consent of the people of the United States back of them both, could 
end this war in sixty days. If the peaceful representations of the 
United States were flouted by these war-maniacs, there is a peaceful 
Aveapon they w\\\ not flout. If the United States should refuse to 
sell any of the combatants supplies and munitions and refuse to lend 
them money, the war would automatically stop in sixty days." — N. Y. 
American, September 30, 1915. 

*'Why does our national Government 'palter with the chance 
sublime'? In the wdiole recorded history of mankind there never was 
a duty more clear, an obligation greater in human affairs than this 
duty to do all we can to stop this war. In the present instance, our 
bloodless participation alone would end this war. Our moral force, 
our national resources exerted on one side, withheld from the other, 
could end this w^ar without the shedding of one drop of American 
blood. Why do we hesitate to end this war without going to war?" 
— N. Y. American. Why? It is the gall that we had down at Balti- 
more, that disregarded the will of the people as expressed at their 
primaries. It is to help out the land where the professor's grand- 
parents were born and lived and died, and to suit Wall Street. Look 
up and see how many of the Cabinet are Wall Street men, and 
worked for Morgan. 

Without the arms and ammunition from the United States, Eng- 
land's war on Germany would have had to stop a year ago. 

It is American war supplies that has kept this war of England's 
on Germany going for a year. 

You ignoramuses should remember that it is an unprecedented 
international deal that confronts Germany. Without the enormous, 
unheard of supply of infernal stuff from America this war w^ould have 
had to stop months ago. If that supply had been cut off the allies 
would have been at a standstill. International law never had to deal 
with such monstrous brand of hypocrisy as our so-called neutrality. 
The French order stuff here, .but the manufacturers have got to 
make an agreement not to sell to Germany or Austria. And England 
contracts arms and ammunition, but the manufacturers must make an 
agreement not to sell to the Germans. And you demagogues and 
liars down at Washington lie to the people here and call such an in- 
fernal deal as that to Germany, neutrality. It is time for you to toot 
your Pharisee horn some more about how humanitarian you are and 
roll up your eyes and tear off a few more yards about the law of 
humanity. After this Avar ends. International Law needs to be over- 
hauled so that no nation can hand another nation such a treacherous 
deal as this country is handling Germany and then call it neutrality. 

60 



This is by far the most important matter that should be considered 
at the next conference on the law of nations. 

The Blackest Page in American History. 

The blackest page in our history is not human slavery, infernal as it 
was. A white brute down in Washington, D. C, was the father of 25 
children by negro women who were his slaves, and he sold those children 
into slavery, and this was a common thing in the south. Truthful "Uncle 
Tom's Cabin" is still the most unpopular book in the south that ever was 
published. 

The blackest page in American history is our manufacturing of the 
infernal stuff to blow a nation into hell and then hypocritically calling such 
diabolical treachery neutrality. The law by which our lying politicians 
pretend to justify this infernal deal to Germany and label it neutrality is 
just as diabolical as the law by which the Jews justified themselves in cruci- 
fying Christ. This will sound seditious to the lying Wall Street gang and 
the politicians that serve them. Once it was seditious to denounce human 
slavery. Now howl, you devils. 

. More Infernal Stuff Going to the Allies Now Than Ever. 

Two Millions of U. S. Munitions Sent to Europe Daily. Total War 
Shipments Now $250,000,000 and the Production is Growing 

Rapidly. 

Washington, D. C, Feb. 16. — American-made war munitions are now 
pouring into Europe at the rate of nearly $2,000,000 worth daily, with the 
figures swelling rapidly. Not until the middle of 191 5 did war materials 
contracted for begin to move in considerable quantities. Department of 
Commerce estimates to-day put total munitions shipments since the war 
beo-an close to $250,000,000. At the present rate of shipment THE NEXT 
FOUR MONTHS WOULD SEE THIS TOTAL DOUBLED EVEN IF 
PRODUCTION REMAINED AT A STANDSTILL. BUT PRODUC- 
TION IS DECLARED TO BE GROWING FASTER NOW THAN AT 
ANY TIME SINCE AMERICAN MANUFACTURERS BEGAN TURN- 
ING THEIR PLANTS INTO MUNITIONS FACTORIES. 

More than $100,000,000 worth of high explosive shells have left Ameri- 
can shores. Powder comes next with shipments of nearly $100,000,000. 
Small arm cartridges are third with $30,000,000. Firearms, including ord- 
nance, exports are put at less than $20,000,000.— From N. Y. American, 
Feb. 17, 1916. 

That the people of the United States, deliberately, avowedly and with 
the aid of all that industrial efficiency for which we are famous, should 
now be helping to prolong the war for the profit of a few of our citizens 
is execrable. 

AND THE WITHHOLDING OF AMERICAN MONEY, AMERI- 
CAN EXPLOSIVES AND AMERICAN ARMS WOULD COMPEL 
PEACE. 

How can we protest against barbarism while we supply its tools? How 

61 



cry aloud in horror at the massacre of Armenian Christians when we furnish 
money to Christians massacring each other? How can we preach peace 
while filling our pockets with the bloody spoils of war? 

Let us while it is not too late purge ourselves of blood guiltiness and 
highly resolve that from this nation, devoted as it is to the ideals of peace, 
there shall proceed nothing more to aid the red madness of murder and 

rapine which is sweeping Western civilization into the pit of anarchy. 

N. Y. American, Oct. i, 191 5. 

Germany and International Law. 

Sapheads and liars, get the first principles of International Law through 
your skulls! The British authority, Halleck's International Law, says of 
the right of self-preservation: "This is one of the most essential and im- 
portant rights incident to State sovereignty, and lies at the foundation of all 
the rest. It is not only a right with respect to other States, but a duty with 
respect to its own members, and one of the most solemn and important duties 
which it owes to them" 

Self-preservation prevents attack as well as repells it. Another British 
authority, Sir R. Phillimore's International Law, says: "The Right of Self- 
Preservation, hy that defence which prevents, as well as that which repels, , 
attack, is the next International Right which presents itself for discussion, 
which it will be seen, may under certain circumstances, and to a certain 
extent, modify the Right of Territorial Inviolability." 

Self-preservation is the first law of nations as well as nature. Sir R. 
Phillimore says: "No nation has a right to prescribe to another what these 
means shall be, or to require any account of her conduct in this respect." 
Germany had to deal with an unprecedented situation. A nation had gone 
into the business of supplying the war material to crush Germany, yet and 
without that supply the allies would be unable to carry on the war. Then 
the law of self-preservation justifies Germany in cutting off as much of 
that unprecedented supply as she could. That is her own self-preservation, 
and "no nation has any right to prescribe to another what these means shall 
be, or to require any account of her in that respect." Because the big crooks 
and lying politicians here had made this country the base of military supplies 
without which England could not have carried on this war. They did this 
and then hypocritically called it neutrality. It made no difference what 
they called their cussedness. Germany has the right of self-preservation, 
that is, not to sit still and let their hellish work go on without trying to 
cut off as much of that supply as possible in the way she could. The only 
way was to sink every carrier of these war supplies without which the 
infernal stuff could not be used against Germany. This was simply exer- 
cising her right of self-defense or self-preservation by the only means within 
her power, that was her submarines. Remember, "no nation has a right to 
prescribe to another what these means shall be." Swiss International Law 
says : "The right of self-preservation gives a nation a moral power of acting 
m regard to other nations in such a manner as may be requisite to prevent 
them from obstructing its preservation." Yet this is the very thing the 
Americans did. Load up the ships with arms and ammunition and put on a 
few Americans so as to obstruct Germany in her right to sink that ship. 

62 



American have no rights on those vessels not as much as they have down 
in Mexico. Germany has a moral right to sink as many of these carriers of 
ammunition, loaded or unloaded. This is her own self-defense since this 
country runs its factories night and day to keep England and France from 
getting the thrashing they deserved. Americans have a right on the high 
seas but not on ships carrying ammunition and war supplies. England made 
food contraband; then Germany has a right to send all contraband to the 
bottom of the sea. Americans have a right on the high sea but not in a way 
to obstruct Germany in her right to sink these carriers of ammunition and 
war supplies, A man has a right to cross the railroad track. But he has no 
right to butt-in ahead of the engine and blame the engine for hitting him. 
Just so with those Americans who want to ride on vessels carrying ammuni- 
tion. Bah ! this administration does not care for American lives. Get my 
big book and post up. This administration butted in and drove out Huerta. 
Because oil interests opposed Huerta. Get my big book. Americans can 
travel on vessels not engaged in carrying ammunition and war supplies and 
be safe. Germany will not molest them. That is all any neutral man will 
ask in these perilous times. Get my big book and cuss some more. "Nearly 
ONE THOUSAND AMERICAN MEN AND WOMEN AND CHILDREN, 
have been butchered and tortured and outraged with every circumstance of 
hideous brutality, cruelty and abominable lust down in Mexico." — N. Y. 
American. And Prof. Wilson after he was elected on a pledge to not stand 
for such butchery of our citizens suppressed those particulars for fear the 
American people would not stand for it. Yet Prof. Wilson after he was 
elected on a pledge to not stand for ravishing of our women and slaughtering 
of our citizens suppressed such particulars and claims he is anxious about 
American rights. If it will help England. 

John Bull Wanted a Submarine to Get the "Lusitania" to Stir Up 
England and America. 

The "Lusitania" was loaded with enough ammunition to kill 40,000 Ger- 
mans, and the treacherous ammunition devils wanted Americans on board 
and make that a pretext why this stuff to kill Germans must not be sent to 
the bottom of the sea. Without the ammunition from this greedy hypocritical 
nation the war would had to stop and Germany had a right, according to 
International Law, to send it to the bottom. John Bull wanted a submarine 
to get the "Lusitania" to arouse England to fight and to get the American sap- 
heads stirred up still more. 

Here Are the Facts About What the British Admiralty Did to Let a 
Submarine Get the "Lusitania." 

England knew that the Germans were going to try to get the Lusitania. 

Because they had advertised they would, and England knows the Germans 

are no bluffers. They back up their words with action. 
The Washington, D. C, Post, states the following fact: 
"The British government was aware that a desperate effort was to be 

made to sink the Lusitania. The warning issued by Germany was as well 

known in England as in the United States. The captain of the Lusitaina is 

63 



an officer of the royal naval reserve, and he was in communication with the 
British admirality at all times. He was under orders from the admirality, 
and the ship's movements were controlled by these orders. 

"Why was it, then, that Capt. Turner took the beaten path and appeared 
in the war zone exactly on schedule time, at the place where the enemy might 
expect to find him? 

"Why was it that he slowed down from 24 or more knots to 17 knots, 
at the same time blowing his fog whistle continually, although the weather 
was fine and clear? 

"Why was it that no British patrol boats or torpedo boats or other war- 
ships appeared to escort the Lusitania, in view of the warning that had been 
issued by the enemy? 

"Why was it that the censorship was applied with drastic severity, com- 
pletely shutting ofif all information as to the nature of the instruction given 
to Capt. Turner? 

"Capt. Turner testified at the inquest that he obeyed wireless orders of 
the admiralty. What were those orders, and why does the British government 
conceal them from the public? 

"The suggestion is made in some quarters that the British government 
actually relied upon the presence of American passengers on the Lusitania as 
a safeguard against attack; that instead of guarding the Lusitania with war- 
ships, or ordering her to take another route and try and evade submarines, 
the British government deliberately used the American passengers as a shield, 
relying upon their presence to save the ship and its cargo of war material 
from attack. 

"The Post makes no charge that the British government and the master 
of the Lusitania deliberately placed the vessel in the track of danger and 
advertised her presence there, in the confident expectation that the German 
submarines would let the vessel pass rather than run the risk of destroying 
American lives. But we do say that if Capt. Turner had desired to give 
German submarines notice of his identity and whereabouts, and had desired 
to facilitate in every way a successful torpedo attack, he could not have taken 
more effective means to carry out his purpose. Therefore, in common with 
many other Americans, this newspaper would like to know what answer 
would be made to the questions propounded above." 

I have a copy of the N. Y. Globe, May 14, 191 5, containing this state- 
ment: "Congressman Richard. P. Hobson to-day expressed his opinion of 
the President's note to Germany in a statement which he gave to the public 
through George H. Hull, his brother-in-law, of 30 Pine street. Hobson tele- 
phoned the statement to this city from Torrington, Conn. In the course of 
the statement he says: 

" *A widowed cousin of mine applied at the New York office of the 
Cunard Line for passage on the Lusitania. The booking agent, an old 
friend, took her off apart and told her that the vessel was acting under Admir- 
alty orders, and that she simply must not take passage on it. He pledged 
her to secrecy until after the trip.' 

"This fact brings up pertinent questions. Why did not the Cunard 
Company give to all parties applying for passage the same humane advice 
its agent, for old friendship sake, gave to my cousin, instead of loading the 

64 



vessel down with a full passenger list, including many distinguished Ameri- 
cans, whose loss would necessarily strike the American imagination?" 

Since Mr. Hobson's statement was made public, the agent of the Cunard 
Line characterized it as "absolutely false." Why not? No one expects John 
Bull to confess his diabolical plots. But Mr. Hobson's cousin would have 
no difficulty in proving that the Cunard man she said she saw is an old-time 
friend of hers. The fact that Mr. Hobson's cousin intended going on the 
Lusitania and went to the office in time to secure passage but changed her 
mind, should be proof conclusive that she spoke the truth, even though five 
swore to a different story it would not make the lie the truth. 

The "Lusitania" Kept Going Slow When Even the Passengers Saw a 

Submarine Around. 

Dr. Foss, of Harlem, Mont., a survivor of the Lusitania, said in an 
interview to the New York World, that he saw a submarine about a mile 
off and the Lusitania was moving so slowly that it kept pace with the ship 
for five minutes, for he looked at his watch. He said : "It was plain that she 
had been seen from the bridge and that they should have put on more speed." 
This was about 1.45 and about 2.15 the powerful explosion came. That is, 
the Lusitania had been going slow for about half an hour when even the 
passengers had seen a submarine around. In a copy that I have of the 
New York American, May 12, 191 5, is a fact that the Washington Post also 
has pointed out: "Queenstown, May 11.— Fred J. Perry, of London, one of 
the survivors of the Lusitania, said: I consider the slow speed of the Lusi- 
tania and the fact that she kept blowing her fog horn as nothing more than 
an invitation to the Germans to come and torpedo her." It was a clear day 
and a fogless sea, yet the captain kept tooting the fog horn regularly. He 
was obeying orders. He was ordered to toot the fog horn so the Ger- 
mans could not fail to find her. He received orders by wireless just before 
entering the submarine zone, but he refused to divulge what these orders 
were. He was under orders. So he did what he was ordered to do; that is 
he was ordered to do what he did, toot the fog horn and go slow and all. 

The British Could Have Protected the "Lusitania." 

"The British Government dodged Lord Charles Beresford's question in 
Parliament as to the reason why no protection was given the Lusitania in the 
war zone. The hint was given that the Admiralty had no available destroy- 
ers, but that seems incredible. 

"As a matter of fact the Admiralty could have saved the Lusitania unless 
most exceptional circumstances arose. Two or three destroyers, the natural 
enemies of and safeguards against the submarine, meeting the great ship 
before she entered the war zone and convoying her into the Mersey would 
have in all probability warded off any successful attack. 

"No lack of ships can be pleaded in explanation of this Admiralty blunder. 
Even though a great screen of cruisers, torpedo boats and destroyers is 
needed to guard the troop ships carrying the army across the channel, Great 
Britain has still sufficient to have spared a few to guard so important a mer- 
chantman as the Lusitania. The four cruisers that for months have been 
lying off New York harbor, with the effect mainly of harassing American 

65 



merchantmen and irritating American public sentiment, might have been 
better employed on this service. And all along the South American and 
Asiatic coasts are British men-of-v^^ar that evidently could be more useful 
guarding the waters about Britain's home ports." — From an editorial in the 
N. Y. American, May ii, 1915. 

How They Managed to Get Americans Aboard the "Lusitania." 

To get Americans aboard in New York they poohed at submarines and 
told how fast the Lusitania could go, and that the submarines could not get a 
shot at her. And then when they got over where the submarines were they 
slowed down and tooted and tooted the fog horn on a clear day and a fogless 
sea, and kept going slow when even the passengers had seen a submarine 
around and the boilers were blowing off steam. Then when the torpedo hits 
her, tell the passengers that the vessel is safe and cannot sink, when, as 
Dr. Foss, of Harlem, Mont., said, members of the crew were putting on their 
life preservers. But the officers megaphoned, as Fred J. Perry said, to the 
passengers that the boat would float and that there was no danger, and so, 
many of the passengers stood perfectly cool and collected and made no at- 
tempt to rush to the boats. This is what Fred J. Perry said. Yet members 
of the crew were putting on life-preservers, said Dr. Foss, of Harlem, Mont. 
The Captain had orders to do what he did : go slow, toot the fog horn, and, 
if torpedoed, to tell the passengers that they were safe, so they would not try 
to save themselves, and thus go down with the ship and make the loss of life 
as appalling and great as possible. It will only be a few short years until 
retribution a-plenty will be handed out to the bloody British brutes who 
are to blame for this war. It will not be long until it will be done unto 
John Bull as he has always done unto others. That is the way this universe 
is wound up. Let them pile up the debts and taxes in their rule-or-ruin 
determination to be the biggest thing on earth; well, it will not be long- 
only a few years more— until the jobs of those bloody British stiffs will get 
a jolt. 

Deliberately planned to let a German submarine get that vessel after 
they had got as many Americans on board as possible so as to get the 
Americans into their war to crush Germany. Prominent Britishers have 
urged America to go to war and help whip Germany. That is one reason 
why they sacrificed the Lusitania. But to excuse the slow speed England 
said they were short of coal as well as stokers. They were not so short 
but that they could arrive in the submarine zone on schedule time. They 
could have gone slow on this end of the trip and then opened her up over 
there. And if they were short of coal they could have sent some of their 
destroyers to protect it. But they hold an investigation and have that investi- 
gation behind closed doors, and any one that is not a saphead could see by 
that they were covering things up as much as possible and that it was not an 
open, honest, enlightening investigation. It is no wonder the British say the 
Americans are fools. The way they have them fooled in this war justifies 
that opinion. 

The article on the Lusitania was prepared in July, 191 5. But there is 
nothing to change. The Lusitania was sacrificed by the British government 
to stir up the American sapheads and get us into the war with Germany and
